Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (17.5 ounces/496 grams) Betty Crocker Peanut Butter Cookie Mix
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon water
Decoration Ingredients:
- Granulated sugar (for rolling)
- 36 pieces of chocolate kisses
Optional Decorative Toppings:
- White decorating gel
- Festive-themed candy sprinkles
Instructions
- Organize all necessary ingredients and create a clean, organized workspace. Set the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) to ensure proper heat for baking.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blend the peanut butter cookie mix with the egg, vegetable oil, and water. Mix until the dough achieves a uniform consistency with no dry patches remaining.
- Craft uniform cookie balls by rolling the dough between your palms. Generously coat each sphere in granulated sugar, creating a sparkly, crisp exterior that enhances both texture and sweetness.
- Arrange the sugar-dusted dough spheres on an ungreased baking sheet, maintaining approximately two inches of separation to prevent cookies from merging during the baking process.
- Transfer the cookie sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Look for light golden brown edges as an indicator of optimal doneness.
- Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, delicately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each warm cookie. The residual heat will help the chocolate kiss melt slightly and adhere perfectly to the cookie surface.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet, permitting the chocolate kiss to set and the cookie to firm up before transferring to a serving plate or storage container.
Notes
- Quickly prepare this simple recipe using a convenient Betty Crocker Peanut Butter Cookie Mix for a hassle-free baking experience.
- Roll cookie dough balls in granulated sugar for an extra layer of sweetness and delightful crackly texture that elevates the cookie’s appearance.
- Work swiftly after baking to press chocolate kisses into warm cookies, ensuring the chocolate melts slightly and creates a perfect bonding effect.
- Use ungreased cookie sheets to prevent unnecessary mess and make cleanup a breeze after enjoying these delectable treats.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain their soft, chewy texture and rich flavor.
- Choose Hershey’s Kisses in various flavors like milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or caramel-filled for a personalized twist on this classic cookie.
