  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the sugar, peanut butter, and egg until smooth.
  • Scoop one tablespoon-sized balls onto a baking sheet covered in parchment paper and flatten them slightly (to about ¾” thick).
  • Chill cookies for at least an hour to prevent any spreading.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes or until they are golden brown around the edges, but still soft in the middle. – it’s important to not overbake these!
  • Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately place a Hershey kiss into the center of each one.
  • Allow the cookies to cool fully before enjoying or storing.
  • Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
