Step-by-Step Instructions for Classic Thumbprint Hershey Kiss Cookies
- Whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups flour, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon baking soda until well combined. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together ½ cup unsalted butter and ½ cup peanut butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add ½ cup granulated sugar and ½ cup light brown sugar, mixing until creamy.
- Add 1 egg, 3 tablespoons whole milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Mix on low speed until combined.
- Slowly fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture until no flour streaks remain. Chill if too soft.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
- Scoop the dough into 1.5-tablespoon-sized balls and roll in granulated sugar. Place on the baking sheets, 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges. Don't over-bake.
- Press a chilled Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie once out of the oven. Cool on baking sheets.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack for about 10-15 minutes before serving or storing.
