Ingredients
  • 1 cup Peanut Butter (almond butter may also be used)
  • ⅔ cup Sugar*
  • 1 large Egg
  • 15-20 Chocolate Kisses, unwrapped
  • Colored Sparkling Sugar (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Using a stand or handmixer or a food processor, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg till the mixture is fully blended and crumbly.
  3. With your hands or a 2-inch cookie scoop, make two inch round balls out of the dough.
  4. Dip the top of each ball into the colored sparkling sugar and then place on a Silpat or Parchment lined baking sheet.
  5. Gently press a single (unwrapped) chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie ball.
  6. Place the pan of cookies into the preheated oven and bake 8-9 minutes (the top points of the chocolate kisses will be slightly dark brown).
  7. Remove and allow to cool 1-2 minutes before transferring each cookie to a wire wrack. Allow to cool completely before storing in an air-tight container.
Notes
*The original recipe calls for a full cup of sugar but I lowered the amount since I was adding sugar with the sparkling sugar and the chocolate kisses. When it comes to the TYPE of sugar for this recipe, you can use any of your favorite baking sugar -- white, brown, or coconut sugar.
