Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter creamy
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/3 cups Hershey’s Caramel Kisses chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, using an electric hand mixer, whip butter, peanut butter, sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add vanilla extract and eggs and mix. Scrape sides and mix again.
  • Add salt, baking soda, and flour and mix until combined.
  • Stir in chopped Hershey’s caramel kisses*.
  • Scoop by the teaspoon full onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake 8-9 minutes or until the edges are barely golden and the middle looks like it’s not quite done.**
  • Cool on baking sheet 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack. Store in airtight containers.

Notes

*Try to have most of your Hershey kisses closer to the top than the bottom because they will ooze on your baking sheet and become crunchy. 
**You may have the urge to keep them in longer–don’t! Unless you want crunchier cookies in which case you should then leave them in a minute or two longer… but I like mine chewy so I pull them out sooner.
