Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup (190g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup (67g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) whole milk

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a mixer bowl, beat the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, light brown sugar, and 1/3 cup granulated sugar on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt.
  5. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until a dough forms.
  6. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls (approximately 1 tablespoon each). Roll each ball in the additional 1/3 cup granulated sugar until evenly coated.
  7. Place the balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
  8. Immediately after removing from the oven, press one milk chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
