Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Mix Peanut Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
Shape the Cookies
Roll Dough Balls: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
Roll in Sugar: Roll each dough ball in the additional granulated sugar until coated.
Bake the Cookies
Place on Baking Sheets: Arrange the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Add Chocolate Kisses: Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie.
Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
