Perfect combination of peanut butter and chocolate in an easy to make, soft cookie.

Ingredients

· 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (can substitute the 1/3 cup with whole wheat pastry flour)

· 1 tsp baking powder

· 1 tsp fine sea salt

· 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (salted butter worked OK too, bit salty)

· 1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed

· 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

· 1 cup peanut butter

· 1 large egg

· 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

· About 60 unwrapped Chocolate Kisses

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350° and have ready a cookie sheet lined with a sheet of parchment paper or a Silpat.

2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Set aside until ready to use.

3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and peanut butter on medium-high speed. If you don’t have a stand mixer, use a large mixing bowl and a handheld mixer. Add the egg, followed by the vanilla extract. Add the flour with the mixer on low. Remove bowl from mixer and scrape the dough from the bottom, up and over the top. Return bowl to the mixer and mix on low 30 seconds more.
