DESSERTS WITH HERSHEY KISSES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F with racks in the upper and lower thirds of oven. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment. 
• Beat butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar with a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment on medium speed until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add egg, beating on medium speed until fully incorporated, about 30 seconds. Add milk and vanilla, and beat until combined, about 30 more seconds. 
• Stir together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. With mixer running on low speed, gradually add flour mixture to peanut butter mixture, beating until well blended. 
• Shape dough into 1-tablespoon balls, and roll in remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Place balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake in preheated oven until golden, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating baking sheets between racks and front to back halfway through bake time. Remove from oven, and immediately press a chocolate kiss into each cookie. Cool completely on baking sheets, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
• Place the softened butter, peanut butter and sugars in a medium bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer). With a hand mixer (or stand mixer with a paddle attachment), beat until creamy and light, 2-3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract mix well to combine. Add the flour mixture in 3-4 batches, mixing on low to combine completely in between each addition. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl as needed.
• Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the sugar that you plan to use (granulated or sanding sugar) on a small plate.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Scoop mounded balls of dough (about 1 ½ tablespoons each) and place them on a cutting board. Grease your hands and roll the scoops into balls. Roll each ball in the sugar of choice. Divide the balls amongst the two baking sheets.
• Bake for 9-11 minutes, just until the bottom edges look light brown, rotating the trays from top to bottom oven racks, half-way through baking. Remove from the oven and immediately press a Hershey kiss into the center of each cookie. (the cookie will crack slightly and that is ok!) Let the cookies cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
