Instructions
- Sift the dry ingredients flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda together; set aside in a bowl.
- Take butter in another large mixing bowl.
- Cream butter using an electric beater for 30 seconds.
- Add both the sugars and beat on high speed for 1 or 2 minutes until the mixture turns light and fluffy.
- Mix peanut butter and vanilla essence.
- Stir until it is smooth.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix the whole mixture using a spatula. Do not knead the cookie dough like chapathi dough. This will make the cookies harder.
- Refrigerate the dough for a while if the dough is not firm, otherwise you can directly bake the cookies. I always prefer to refrigerate the cookie dough for atleast 15 minutes so that it avoids the cookie from spreading more during baking.
- Align baking tray with parchment / baking sheet.
- Preheat oven at 160c.
- Take small balls of around 1 inch diameter, even them and place them on the baking tray.
- Leave enough space as the cookies will spread a little while baking.
- Place the baking tray inside the preheated oven and bake for 13 to 15 minutes at 160c.
- Once done remove the tray from the oven and gently press the chocolates in the center of the baked cookies when they are still hot.
- Now the cookies may crack and spread a little. Do not put more pressure on the baked cookies as they may break.
- Let these cookies rest on the baking tray itself for a minute or two.
- Then transfer them on a cooling rack.
- Once cooled, transfer the cookies into an airtight container and relish.
Recipe Notes
- Please follow the measurements as indicated.
- If Hershey’s kisses chocolates are unavailable, you can still bake them without the chocolates. It will be a yummy peanut butter cookie.
- The unsalted butter should be kept at room temperature. It has to be just softened enough, not melted.
- These cookies stay good for 15 to 20 days as well.
- Oven temperature and timings varies from one oven to another, hence adjust accordingly.
- This recipe yields 20 cookies of medium size.
