  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • If you want to use 20 little dark chocolate kisses with/without sugar.

INGREDIENT NOTES:

Peanut butter:

  • Select the pure peanut butter that contains just peanuts & salt. It makes the cookie rich & soft.

Sweeteners:

  • Combination of brown sugar & a zero-calorie sweetener in order to provide flavor & texture balance.

Egg:

  • Acts to combine everything. Mix easily with room temperature.

Flour:

  • Best to use all-purpose. There is no need to pack the flour, spoon & level it.

Chocolate kisses:

  • You can use mini four-point kisses/sugar-free chocolate, which has fewer points.

Vanilla:

  • Boosts the nature of the herb with a warm undertone & mutes the flavor.

Salt & baking soda:

  • These make the dough stable & aid in the rising of the cookies, which makes them light.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. First you need to heat up the oven at 175°C (350°F).
  2. Spread aluminum foil on your baking sheet.
  3. Put the egg, peanut butter, brown sugar, & sweetener in a mixing dish.
  4. Stir in vanilla essence till it becomes smooth and creamy in consistency.
  5. Add the baking soda, salt, & flour. Stir briefly till incorporated.
  6. Make 1-tablespoon-sized balls out of the dough. After gently rolling, transfer to a baking sheet.
  7. Every cookie should be separated by around 2 inches.
  8. Now bake it for the next eight to ten minutes while, the edges are golden and center is soft.
  9. Take the cookies out of the oven & delicately place a little chocolate kiss into the middle of each one.
  10. Must give at least 5 minutes to rest for cookies in the pan.
  11. After transferring to a wire rack, let it cool fully.

TIPS:

  • Underbake a little to have softer centers.
  • If the dough is too moist, then chill it and allow it to rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
  • Turn them into gluten-free using a 1:1 gluten-free flour mix.
  • Kiss the press in; do not press too deep or the cookie will break.
  • When large kisses are used, 1 to 2 minutes more time is necessary to set.
  • The mixing should not be too much so that the textures do not contain firm and hard food.

STORAGE INFORMATION:

FRIDGE:

  • You can freeze these cookies in a tightly sealed jar for just the next five days.

FREEZER:

  • You may store it for the following two months if you want to preserve it for a long time, but be sure to keep it in a foil sheet apart.

FAQS:

Can the dough be frozen?

  • Yes. Make balls and freeze. Bake from frozen straight out of the pack, depending on size, 1–2 minutes longer.

Is powdered peanut butter okay?

  • Not a good idea, it will not have the right fats to allow moisture.

Are they suitable for children?

  • Yes! You may simply use ordinary chocolate kisses instead.

But what happens in case I am peanut-allergic?

  • Sunflower seed butter or almond butter may also be used.

May I perform a double batch?

  • Absolutely. Split the quantity of each ingredient in two and cook the two portions separately.
