Ingredients
  

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

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Cookie sheets
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly and rise perfectly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped Hershey’s Caramel Kisses into the cookie dough using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  7. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious Peanut Butter Caramel Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  • For longer storage, freeze cookies for up to three months, layered with parchment paper.
  • Thaw at room temperature or microwave for a few seconds to regain softness.
