Servings: cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup (260 g) natural peanut butter
- 1 egg
- ⅔ cup (100 g) soft brown sugar *or coconut sugar for a refined sugar-free version
You can find detailed step-by step-photos above the recipe card.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 340°F (170°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Crack the egg into a large mixing bowl. Then add the sugar.
- Beat with a hand mixer on medium-high speed until well combined and the egg is slightly frothy.
- Add the peanut butter and mix again on low speed until just combined and you come up with a crumbly dough-like texture (see step-by-step photos). You can also fold in the peanut butter by hand using a spatula but it will take a big longer.
- Scoop out individual portions using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon. Then roll into small, 1-inch balls.
- Optional (but recommended): Roll the cookie dough balls into some extra sugar.
- Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet spacing them out about 1 inch apart.
- Take a (still wrapped) Hershey's kiss (or whichever candy you choose) and gently press it into the dough leaving marks. This will slightly crack the sides open.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes (center rack) then remove from the oven and let cool for 1 minute before transferring the cookies to a cooling rack.
- Place an unwrapped chocolate kiss onto each cookies and enjoy with a big cup of hot chocolate or peanut butter coffee.

Notes
- Peanut Butter: Use natural pb. If oil is swimming on top of the peanut butter jar, give it a good stir first.
- Don’t overbake: Not more than 11 minutes; we find 10 minutes yields the best cookies. Otherwise, you’ll end up with dry and crumbly textured cookie. If you see that your cookies are already golden brown at the edges, remove from the oven.
- Let cool: leave them on the baking sheet only for 1 minute, then move them onto a wire rack (otherwise, they continue to bake and can be overdone).
- Cookie Cracks: If you want to prevent those cookies from cracking when placing the kiss on top, press the dough balls down slightly before pressing in the kiss.
- Adjust sweetness: The cookies are on the sweeter side. If you prefer them less sweet, use only ½ cup of sugar.
- Nutritional values are calculated without the chocolate (cookie only). Depending on which chocolate you choose you'll need to factor that in.
