mmm, my favorite cookies in the whole world. I baked these for a friend in high school when he got his heart broken because I think they have some healing powers. I made about 2 dozen with this batch. Dan and I got a little ambitious though and our cookies probably should have been smaller. So when you are rolling them into balls avoid making meatball sized ones. whoops! And try not to eat too much of the batter... although it's hard not to.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of butter
1/2 cup of peanut butter (I used smooth but you can also use crunchy. Definitely use high quality peanut butter... not that reduced fat stuff either)
1/2 cup of white sugar
1/2 cup of brown sugar (dark or light)
1 egg
1 3/4 cup of flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
3/4 tsp of baking soda
Mash together the butter (softened), sugars and peanut butter. Then add the egg.
In a separate bowl add together the remaining dry ingredients and then mix all together. Let the batter cool in the fridge for a few hours before making the dough balls. Roll into roughly 1 inch balls on a cookie sheet and use a floured fork to press down on and create a criss-cross pattern. Cook at 375 degrees until the edges start to brown. Be careful not to overcook. This is why its important to not make cookies too large.
Immediately upon taking out of the oven, place a Hershey's kiss on top (push down lightly). I would suggest having the Hershey's kisses unwrapped before the cookies come out. Enjoy!
