Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated white sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract

- 1 tsp (5g) baking soda
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar

Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Beat the softened butter, peanut butter, white sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl on medium-high speed until the texture is smooth and the color is pale tan.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients on low speed, mixing only until the flour streaks disappear.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a 1-inch ball.
- Roll each ball in the 1/4 cup of granulated sugar until evenly coated.
- Place the balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
- Remove the pan from the oven and immediately press one milk chocolate kiss firmly into the center of each cookie.
