- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 24 unwrapped Hershey’s Kisses
Instructions

- Prepare Dough: In a large bowl, mix creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and place on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
