Instructions
First, heat the oven to 375° F degrees. Unwrap the Hershey Kisses.
Next, mix the peanut butter and butter together until it's well combined. I highly suggest using an electric hand mixer for this recipe.
Add the granulated sugar and the brown sugar to the peanut butter mixture, and beat until fluffy.
Add one egg, milk, and vanilla — be sure to fully incorporate the egg into the dough before the next step.
Mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda and salt in a small mixing bowl.
Add half of the flour mixture to the peanut butter cookie dough. I recommend switching from a hand mixer to a rubber spatula for this part.
Once the dough comes together, it's time to form them into 1 inch balls. You can use a small cookie scoop to help with this process.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Next, roll them in granulated sugar and place on the prepared baking sheet. Be sure to give the cookie blossoms some room to spread out.
Bake the cookies in a 375° F oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden.
Immediately after taking the cookies out of the oven, place a Hershey Kiss in the center and press down.
Carefully remove the parchment paper with the cookies on top and place on a cooling rack to cool.
