Note

For best results, ensure butter is softened to room temperature but not melted.

Use natural or creamy peanut butter for consistent texture. If using natural peanut butter, stir well before measuring.

Chocolate kisses should be unwrapped before pressing into the cookies. If they are too hard to press, let them sit out for a few minutes to soften slightly.

Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

For a variation, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top after pressing the chocolate kiss for a sweet and salty flavor profile.
