Perfectly Sweet and Utterly Irresistible: Your New Favorite Cookie

Crafting these Peanut Butter Hershey’s Kiss Cookies is all about achieving the right balance of flavors and textures. Here are some tips to ensure your cookies are flawless:

1. Cream Thoroughly: Properly creaming the butter and peanut butter together is key to a light and fluffy cookie.
2. Chill if Needed: If the dough is too soft to handle, chilling it briefly can make rolling easier.
3. Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on the oven; cookies should be just lightly browned to stay soft.
4. Add Kisses Immediately: Press the Hershey’s Kisses into the cookies right after baking to ensure they stick but don’t melt completely.
