A three-ingredient cookie plus a kiss! Homemade, right-out-of-the-oven cookies are the best! But if you don’t want to spend time measuring and mixing a bunch of ingredients, then my peanut butter cookies with a kiss are the perfect treat. Just three simple ingredients and a chocolate kiss (placed when the cookies are hot) that melts slightly into the center are all you need to have a dozen salty sweet cookies. Make sure you use chunky peanut butter- creamy won’t work. And if you don’t want the chocolate- the kiss is optional. However, in my world, chocolate is never optional. So, surprise your family with this simple, sweet, three-ingredient treat today.
Belle’s Peanut Butter Cookies with a Kiss
1 cup chunky peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
12 chocolate kisses
Mix the peanut butter, sugar, and egg until well combined. With a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, place about 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 11 minutes. Remove from the oven and gently push a kiss into the center of each hot cookie. Allow the cookies to cool almost completely before removing them to a rack.
