Peanut Butter Cookies with Hershey Kisses

 Rena (Wisconsin) says:
Absolutely amazing. I don't even like these kind of cookies but this recipe was delicious. They were chewy and had just the right amount of peanut butter taste. Before adding the flour, mix it seperately with all of the other dry ingredients first; this may be why some of you had trouble with them going flat.

Came out perfectly delicious. But not 48 cookies. We ended up with 36 one inch delights

These were a hit at my house! Made them yesterday and now there is 5 left. Sad to say they won't make it to Christmas.

 Katie (North Carolina) says:
They were good.. not great. I might try rolling them in sugar next time. We couldn't quite get the size right.

We did use natural peanut butter with dark chocolate chips. The kind you grind yourself at Whole Foods or Earthfare. The cookies them selves were delish! I also used chocolate world balls cause I forgot the kisses. They tasted good but I like it when they look pillowy and mine were flat!

These are perfect with a cup of coffee. They are not too sweet and still satisfy the sweet tooth.

 Laura (Maryland) says:
This is a great recipe but i find if you roll them in sugar before baking it makes them even better!

 Lesley (Ohio) replies:
They do turn out great and I agree with Laura, roll them in sugar is the way I've always known to bake them, right before you bake roll the balls. Gives them a little extra sweetness!

 LunenburgNS (Nova Scotia) says:
These were good cookies, simple batter. However I agree with an earlier post. Make them small, or they flatten out!

Best peanut butter cookie ever. I've been making this one for 40 years. But now they've come out with bittersweet chocolate Kisses and they're even better!!!

Great for kids to "help" with since very little kids can press that Kiss on top!
Roll the ball in sugar and half bake then press in the Kiss and finish baking.
Don't flatten them,
