These are so good and a big favorite among our kiddos. These are the cookies of choice that we set out each year for Santa along with carrots for reindeer. This year Emily brought home a little packet of Reindeer Food from school that she said we should put out on our lawn on Christmas Eve. She was so excited about it.
This recipe can be easily doubled if you're making cookies for a cookie exchange or just want more. One batch leaves a few extra kisses for snacking or excited kiddos to taste-test.
½ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
Additional granulated sugar (holiday colored sanding sugar is great!)
About 36 chocolate kisses, unwrapped
In large bowl, beat 1/2 cup granulated sugar,
the brown sugar, peanut butter, butter and egg until well blended. Stir in
flour, baking soda and baking powder until dough forms.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in
additional granulated sugar. On ungreased cookie sheets, place about 2 inches
apart. I really like baking them on our
cookie stone. They seem to come out
perfect each time.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. (9 minutes seems to be the jackpot time for our oven.) After pulling the cookies from the oven - Immediately push 1 milk chocolate candy in center of each cookie. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack.
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a great day.
