Method

  • Line three baking sheets with parchment paper.

  • Add the peanut butter and sugars and beat until light and fluffy (about 2 - 3 minutes).
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat to combine.
  • Beat in the milk.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add to the peanut butter mixture and beat until incorporated.
  • Cover and chill the batter for about an hour, or until firm enough to roll into balls.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and place rack in the center of the oven.
  • Roll the batter into 1 inch (2.54) round balls.
  • Place the granulated white sugar in a shallow bowl and roll each ball in the sugar.
  • Place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches (5 cm) apart.
  • Bake the cookies for about 8 - 10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned.
  • Immediately upon removing the cookies from the oven, place a chocolate Kiss in the center of each cookie, pressing down until the cookie just starts to crack.
  • Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Enjoy!
