What You Need

1/2

cup (1 stick) butter, softened

2/3

cup PLANTERS Creamy Peanut Butter

2/3

cup granulated sugar, divided

1/3

cup firmly packed light brown sugar

egg

Tbsp. milk

tsp. vanilla

1-1/2

cups flour

1/3

cup PLANTERS COCKTAIL Peanuts, finely chopped

tsp. baking soda

1/2

tsp. salt

foil-wrapped milk chocolate pieces, unwrapped

Make It

PREHEAT oven to 375°F. Beat butter, peanut butter, 1/3 cup of the granulated sugar and the brown sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat until well blended. Combine flour, peanuts, baking soda and salt. Gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended after each addition.

SHAPE dough into 48 balls, each about 1 inch in diameter; roll in remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Place, 2 inches apart, on ungreased baking sheets.

BAKE 9 to 10 min. or until lightly browned. Immediately press a chocolate piece into center of each cookie. (Cookie will crack slightly around edge.) Cool on baking sheets 1 min. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.

YUM! These cookies were a hit! The only problem is getting the kids not to eat all the kisses before we put them on the cookies! :)

i've made this recipe several times... they always come out perfect, and it's sooo hard to eat only one.

These were a wonderful addition to the typical christmas cookies! They turned out wonderfully and I would not make one change to the recipe.

I made these cookies for my husband, kids and friends for a pre-Christmas get-together and they were gone in an instant. Excellent cookies! Easy recipe! I'm making them again right now!

Yummy and easy to make! I bought a bag of kisses for baking that were already unwrapped and this made it even easier.

When I made this recipe, I didn't pay attention to the directions very much. I thought that it was calling for crushed peanuts that would never be blended and I didn't like that very much. So, I made the cookies without the peanuts. Later, I wondered why I couldn't roll the cookies into balls, and I figured out that the BLENDED peanuts, were to keep the cookies together. However, the cookies still turned out great. I just dropped them in little circles on the pan and sprinkled sugar over them. A good idea for someone wanting less peanut butter taste! However, next time I will try them with the added peanuts to blend!
