Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
1/2 cup peanut butter creamy
1 egg large
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
granulated sugar for rolling, about 1/4 cup
36 chocolate kisses unwrapped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
In a large bowl, beat together butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, peanut butter, and egg with an electric mixer or by hand. Add in the flour, baking powder, and baking soda until well combined.
Using a tablespoon sized cookie dough scoop or a tablespoon, scoop dough and form into 1-inch sized balls. Roll in the additional granulated sugar.
On a parchment lined or ungreased cookie sheet, place cookie balls about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the cookie edges start getting little cracks.
Pull cookie trays out of the oven. Immediately top each cookie in the center with a chocolate kiss. Transfer to baking sheets to cool.

Notes

Recipe makes approximately 36 cookies.
You can refrigerate your cookie dough for 30 minutes to have them bake up a little more puffy.
Use different flavored kisses. Dark chocolate or caramel filled are options I would love to try.
I baked 2 trays (with 15 cookies each) together in the oven. I had a couple more cookies to bake so I used a third tray. If you would like to use one that just came out of the oven, make sure to let it cool completely before putting the dough on it.
Peanut blossoms will last about 7-10 days at room temperature.
