are these just peanut butter cookies with hershey’s kisses stuck in them? sure they are, but the sum is greater than its parts. it’s almost a reese’s peanut butter cup, deconstructed…and inside out..sort of. well, chocolate and peanut butter are a delicious combination anyway. these cookies could not be easier to make, and they’re actually fun too. next time i could try actually putting a reese’s cup in the center of the cookie, but dare i?

one note of caution – it can be tough to store these cookies since they’re not easily stackable. and if you try to put them on top of one another in some kind of container, the kisses can melt and get squished. you have two options: either refrigerate the cookies after they cool on the sheet for about half an hour before trying to store them, or eat them before you get a chance to store them. i usually opt for the latter.

another recipe from my mom! makes about 3 dozen cookies.

1 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup butter (soft)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp milk
1 bag hershey’s kisses

1. mix together the flower and baking soda in a small bowl. set aside.

2. either leave the butter out to soften or microwave for 50 seconds. add peanut butter and mix until smooth. add both sugars to the butter mixture.

3. add the egg, vanilla, milk, and finally the flour mixture to the butter and mix until combined. my dough seemed just a tad dry so i added maybe half a tablespoon more milk.

4. roll dough into 1 inch balls and roll in white sugar until coated. place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 375 for 10 minutes.

5. as soon as you take the cookies out of the oven, gently press a hershey kiss into the center. allow them to cool (on the cookie sheet if you’d like).

Yes, you should definitely dare to try mini Reese’s cups next time. No one will be able to resist the cookie.

These are one of my favourite cookies! I’ve always just put the kisses on before the cookies go in the oven 🙂

Just browsing saw the recipe will make them sound yummmmm.
I am from Australia we call them biscuits

Hi—

My solution to the ‘kiss melt’ problem is to flash freeze them, and then put them in a freezer bag. I really like your site! If you want an awesome almond sheet cake recipe, email me!

Hi there,
Thanks for publishing this recipe! I make these alot 🙂 Instead of using kisses, i use chocolate buttons and the stack fine in a container and still look awesome.

Hi, this recipe is better than the one on the kisses’ bag, because that one calls for shortening. I like the butter better.

Pete,

I do make this with the Reese pb cups all the time. However, if you’re going to use the RC, then get a mini tart pan. It works out beautifully and you have little Reese pb cups surrounded by a cup of cookie.

Hi. I don’t mean to be critical, but where is the salt in the recipe? It is just that I have researched numerous websites for comparisons sake. Great job on the website!

I started looking backwards through foodgawker to kill my long nights at work, and found this recipe. My mom’s friend makes these all the time and they’re my favorite cookie. I made them Sunday, and used Hershey’s Hugs since I’m a white chocolate fan. Ho-lee shiiiiit, these things turned out AMAZING… and made 47 cookies! I took a heaped plate to each of our two neighbors, and took baggies of them to some people at work. Everyone loved them… I especially loved them, since I ate 5 the day I baked them (oops) and 3 the next day for breakfast (double oops). My fiance ate just as many. I bought a giant sack of Hugs today from BulkBarn to make more… to bring to work, of course… 🙂 Thanks for the simple, awesome recipe.

Soooo yummy!!! I substitute the Hershey kisses with pieces of Symphony milk chocolate bar! Makes it waaay better!!!

Bake for 8 min then push kiss into cookie then bake for another 2 min. This makes the kisses melt inside. Way better.
