Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Make the Dough:
In a large bowl, mix peanut butter, sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and baking soda until well combined.
Shape the Cookies:
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Bake:
Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Top with Kisses:
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a chocolate Kiss into the center of each cookie. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Make Ahead: The dough can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Customization Tip: Use dark chocolate Kisses for a richer flavor or swap peanut butter for almond butter for a different taste.
Serving Suggestions: Serve these cookies at holiday parties or gift them in a cute jar for friends and family.
