Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies


 
I only ever make these at Christmas because they're kind of a lot of work.  Unwrapping kisses is time consuming and each cookie must be rolled in sugar before it goes on the baking sheet.  Still, I couldn't imagine Christmas without them.  On cookie baking day, I'm always relieved when I'm finished making these.  The peanut butter cookie recipe comes from Joy of Cooking.

3 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
2/3 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 cups peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla

Hershey Kisses

Oven to 375

Whisk flour and baking soda together in a bowl and set aside
Cream butter and sugars
Add eggs (one at a time), vanilla, and peanut butter
Mix in the dry ingredients
Drop onto baking sheets
Roll in sugar
Bake 12 minutes
Top with kiss as soon as they come out of the oven.
*Don't unwrap too many kisses as once because unwrapped kisses are basically useless except for these cookies.
