A chewier version of the classic blossom cookie. A soft peanut butter cookie hugs a chocolate candy for a piece of holiday heaven! It just wouldn't be Christmas without them!
Cream together butter and peanut butter until smooth.
Add sugar and brown sugar, beating until fluffy.
Mix in eggs and vanilla.
Stir together flour, baking soda and salt. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture.
Roll about a Tablespoon full into a ball, then roll dough ball in extra sugar. Place on a baking sheet. Continue rolling and place cookies at least 2 inches apart. Bake for 7-9 minutes. Cookies should be puffy and soft looking.
Allow to cool for a minute or two, then press a kiss into the center of the cookie. Remove cookies to wire rack and cool completely.
Notes
I used a mix of dark chocolate, caramel and milk chocolate Kisses. If using caramel or other filled Kisses, freeze them for at least a half hour before using
