Baking peanut butter kiss cookies to share doesn't get much easier than this. Stir together four ingredients. Bake. Top with a kiss. Done! —Dee Davis, Sun City, Arizona

1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 large Eggland's Best egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
30 milk chocolate kisses

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Cream peanut butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla.
Roll into 1-1/4-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake until tops are slightly cracked, 10-12 minutes. Immediately press one chocolate kiss into center of each cookie. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.

Test Kitchen Tips

Because shortening melts at a higher temperature than butter, it’s useful for baking cookies that you want to have a nice uniform shape.

Cutting butter into dry ingredients results in tiny bits of flour-coated butter throughout the dough, creating a cookie crust that is both tender and crumbly at the same time. If you don’t have a pastry blender, use two knives to cut in the cold butter.

I have made these for years without flour. One of my "go to" recipes now that myself and daughter are Celiac. Also, Hershey's Kisses are gluten free. Can't make enough!

Made these the first time tonight. They came out amazing. My whole family had one. They were fine without flour and was happy they were gluten free. Any suggestions for another dessert i can make.

made these the first time tonight. They are an acceptable gluten free recipe if you use a gf chocolate kiss. Wonderful. I prefer them with flour but these are not bad and as for people who claim they do not stick together, not sure what recipe you made but they were just like making them normally. Thank you for this recipe!
