2 cups white sugar
2 cups creamy peanut butter
2 large eggs
36 milk chocolate candy kisses, unwrapped
Optional Twists:
Add 1 tsp vanilla extract or ½ tsp almond extract for extra depth
Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture
Roll dough in cinnamon sugar or sparkling sugar before baking
Use dark chocolate, peppermint, or caramel-filled kisses for variety
Add a pinch of sea salt on top for a salty-sweet finish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix sugar, peanut butter, eggs, and optional extract until smooth.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls. If desired, roll in sugar.
Place on baking sheet and bake for 9–10 minutes, until lightly golden.
Immediately press a kiss into the center of each warm cookie.
Let cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks.
