These are my favorite holiday cookies.  Partially because they perfectly blend peanut butter and chocolate, and partially because they look like little space ships.

My sister and I like to put two Hershey’s kisses on one cookie and pretend it is a little ship with two passengers.

“Pilot to Co-Pilot, we are clear for landing on the cookie plate!”

Yes, we are a little crazy.  But in a fun kind of way.

I think every family has a recipe for these cookies (they must have been on the back of a Hershey’s bag in the 80s or something.)  Just in case you are the one sad panda that doesn’t have a recipe for them, here is my family’s version.

I highly suggest you make at least one with two Hershey’s kisses in it.  Whether you make it talk or not is up to you.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
extra sugar for rolling
Hershey’s kisses
(If at high altitude, add 1-2 teaspoons of water so dough isn’t so crumbly)

Directions

Cream butter and peanut butter with sugars.  Add eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth.  Add dry ingredients and mix well.

Roll into small balls and roll in sugar.  Place on baking pan and bake at 375 degrees for 6-8 minutes.

Remove from the oven and press and Hershey’s kiss into the center of each cookie.  Return to oven for 2-4 minutes until slightly golden.
