Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar for 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy. Add in the peanut butter and mix for another 1-2 minutes. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the eggs and vanilla. Cream for 1-2 minutes longer.
In a small mixing bowl combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer on low slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. Scraping down the sides as needed.
Chill the dough for 25-30 minutes, or overnight if needed. If chilling overnight, allow the dough to come to room temperature before scooping. Using a 1 oz. portion scoop or measuring spoon, scoop out even amounts of dough. Roll in sugar. Arrange 2-3 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 9-11 minutes until slightly golden brown, the cookies will still be very soft. Press a Hershey's kiss into the middle of each cookie. Allow to cool 3-5 minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a cooling rack. Store in an airtight container for up to a week!
