Ingredients
– 1 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 24 chocolate kisses, unwrapped
Equipment Needed
– 9×13 inch baking pan
– Mixing bowls (one large and one medium)
– Electric mixer (hand-held or stand)
– Rubber spatula or wooden spoon
– Parchment paper (optional, for easy removal)
– Measuring cups and spoons
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Greasing the baking pan is essential for easy removal later. I like to line mine with parchment paper for added convenience. In a large mixing bowl, I combine the peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Using an electric mixer, I beat them together until creamy and well-blended. It’s such a comforting sight to see the ingredients transform into a smooth mixture! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
