Ingredients for Hershey Kiss Peanut Butter Cookies

*Ingredient amounts are located in the recipe card at the end of this post.

  • Hershey Kisses: These milk chocolate kisses are the star of the show in this cookie recipe. You can find different sized bags on the candy aisle at your local grocery store.
  • Creamy Peanut Butter: Use your favorite brand of creamy peanut butter for the cookie dough. It's best to avoid using natural peanut butter as it tends to be drier than regular types.
  • Butter: Use salted or unsalted butter in this recipe. Shortening can also be used.
  • White & Brown Sugar: This recipe calls for granulated white sugar and light brown sugar. If you don't have brown sugar, use an equal amount of dark brown sugar instead.
  • Egg: Your egg should be at room temperature before use.
  • Milk & Vanilla Extract: Use any type of milk you prefer, along with a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
  • Flour, Baking Soda & Salt: Be sure to measure the flour correctly using the spoon and level method for best results. The baking soda and salt will help balance out all the flavors in the cookie dough.
  • Sugar for Rolling: A third of a cup of granulated sugar will be used to roll the cookie dough in before baking. This adds an extra layer of sweetness and crunch.

How to Store Cookies

These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. If you want them to last longer, you can freeze the dough balls in a freezer bag for up to 3 months.

When ready to bake, remove from freezer and place the dough on a baking sheet. Bake as usual, adding 1=2 minutes to the baking time if necessary.

Baking Tips & Tricks

  • Be sure to use creamy peanut butter for best results. Natural brands can be too dry and cause the cookies to spread too much.
  • If you don't have light brown sugar, dark brown sugar can also be used in its place.
  • To get evenly sized cookies, make sure to measure out each dough ball with a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop.
  • Hershey's Kisses freeze well, so you can store them in the freezer and they won't be too hard when placed on top of the cookie dough.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I make these cookies without Hershey's Kisses? Yes, these cookies taste just as delicious without the Hershey's Kisses. Feel free to omit them or substitute with other types of chocolate such as mini chocolate chips or chopped up pieces of a bar.
  • Should I refrigerate the cookie dough before baking? You can refrigerate the cookie do before baking which will result in thicker and puffier cookies, but it is not necessary.
  • Can I substitute all-purpose flour for another type of flour in this recipe? You can use other types of flours such as whole wheat or almond flour, however you may need to adjust the quantity as these types of flours absorb more moisture than all-purpose. I recommend starting with half of what the recipe calls for and increasing as needed.
