    Hugs and Kisses Chocoalte peanut butter kisses

    My eldest teenager's favorite cookies are chewy peanut butter chocolate kisses. One chewy bite out of the cookie is like getting a big hug and kiss from Mrs. Claus. Fresh out of the oven the melty, rich chocolate covers your tongue and then you bite into the chewy warm peanut butter cookie. My teenage boys usually stalk me like hungry wild dogs during the first 8 minutes it takes for these easy cookies to bake as the whole house smells like a yummy treat.  The first batch of warm cookies are eaten directly off the cookie sheet by the boys. It is a good thing that this recipe makes 48 cookies because the first 12 are usually spoken for.

    Hugs and Kisses Chocoalte peanut butter kisses

    I was going through some of the old recipes that my mom has given me over the years. I wish I could give proper credit to the one who invented this cookie but this one was hand written on a recipe card many years ago. There are many similar recipes out there but this one has few ingredients and in addition it is super easy, so this makes this one a winner.

    Hugs and Peanut Butter Chocolate Kisses for Santa

    Makes about 48 cookies

    • ½ c. butter
    • ½ c. peanut butter (creamy)
    • ½ c. sugar
    • ½ c. packed brown sugar
    • 1 egg
    • 1 ¼ c. flour
    • 1 tsp. baking powder
    • ¾ tsp. baking soda
    • ¼ tsp. salt
    • 48 Hershey kisses- wrappers removed ( I used Hershey Kisses milk chocolate but you could use the Hershey's stripped white and milk chocolate, or dove chocolates or heart shaped chocolates or anything your little heart desires.)

    Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

    Step 2: Mix together butter, peanut butter, sugar, brown sugar, and egg with blender until light and fluffy.

    Step 3: Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and gradually mix into peanut butter mixture until you form a sticky dough. Roll into small balls and place onto a greased cookie sheet.

    Step 4: Bake 8-10 minutes or until just golden brown. Remove from oven.

    Step 5: Place Hershey kiss (with wrapping removed) in center of each cookie, while they are still hot.

      I love these! We grew up calling these "Happy Cookies" after my littlest sister dubbed them that, and I never knew them as anything else 🙂

      Oooh, I love chewy chocolate chip cookies! Adding PB is a nice twist too. Instead of baking, I bought a big bag of soft chewy chocolate chip cookies to leave a plate out for Santa this year. And of course, my husband and I were the ones who garbled up all the cookies the next morning! =)

        The most difficult part in our family, living with 2 growing teenage boys, is keeping just a couple of cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve. Best wishes to you and your family, Christine!

        Which country are you living in now? Can you find just plain chocolate? You are of course the "Recipe Adapter" and queen of substitution. I am sure you can think of some brilliant substitute! Let me know your results... Take Care and have a safe and happy holiday!

      Hahaha, there's nothing more gratifying than being stalked by teenaged boys when you have a pan full of baked cookies, is there? I can see why, these look amazing!!

        Dear Kathleen, I think these cookies are very addictive. Actually I store them in the freezer just to make it more inconvenient for me to get into them in the middle of the night when you get the munchies.
