Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, cream together the sugar, brown sugar, and butter. Add the peanut butter and mix it into the sugars.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract then add the baking soda and baking powder. Once the wet ingredients are fully combined, add the all-purpose flour and mix until your dough forms.
Place the additional sugar in a shallow bowl or dish. Portion dough and roll it into 1-inch balls then roll through the granulated sugar to coat completely. Place onto your prepared baking sheet(s) with 2 inches of spacing between the cookies.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes or until the bottoms of the cookies are just beginning to turn light golden brown.
Remove from the oven and immediately top with unwrapped Hershey's Kisses milk chocolate candies. Allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
