Mini peanut butter cookies, topped with a melty mini kiss - what could be better? Try some with semisweet, large chocolate chips if you'd like.

1/2 cup butter (1 stick), room temperature
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/3 cup granulated white sugar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
2 TB. milk
1 tsp. PURE VANILLA EXTRACT
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
60 or so (1 bag) mini baking kisses or large chocolate chips
extra granulated white sugar for rolling

Preheat oven to 375°. Mix together room temperature butter and peanut butter. When blended add white and brown sugar, mix again, then add egg, milk, and PURE VANILLA EXTRACT; mix again. Gently stir in flour mixed with baking soda and salt. Roll dough into grape-sized balls (chilling the dough for an hour makes the rolling easier), roll in granulated white sugar and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake about 8 minutes, until lightly browned. Place a mini kiss in the center of the cookies right away, pressing gently. The cookies will crack, that's fine. Remove from pan, let cool.

Yield: 5 dozen small cookies.
Prep. time: 10 minutes
Baking time: 8 minutes per pan.
