Time 1h

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
cooking spray
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
36 chocolate kiss candies, unwrapped

Steps:

  • Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Beat sugar and butter together in a separate bowl using a mixer at low speed. Increase speed to high and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Reduce speed to low and beat in eggs, one at a time, and vanilla extract. Beat in flour until just blended and press together by hand into a dough. Divide dough into 4 equal portions and flatten each into a disk. Wrap disks individually in plastic and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
  • Remove 2 disks of dough from the refrigerator; keep remaining dough in the refrigerator or freezer for future use.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 36 mini muffin cups with cooking spray or line with paper liners.
  • Roll 1 rounded teaspoon of dough into a ball and press into the bottom and up the sides of a mini muffin cup to form a shell. Repeat with remaining dough to make 36 shells.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, beat peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until creamy. Pour filling into a pastry bag or a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off.
  • Remove from the oven and press the end of a wooden spoon into each cookie cup to reshape. Cool 2 minutes in the pan, then carefully transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • Fill each cooled cookie cup with about 1 tablespoons filling. Top each with 1 chocolate kiss candy.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I should have added more butter.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I overbaked them. But the frosting was delicious. I will try again next time and make sure not to overbake them.

These cookies turned out amazing! I used dark chocolate chips and they were the perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness. The cookies were soft and chewy, and the frosting was rich and creamy. I will definitely be making these again!
