Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies

While this recipe is widely known and most have the Hershey's brand recipe, this recipe comes from the Taste of Home website and it calls for only five ingredients. FIVE! It is gluten free with absolutely no flour and makes two dozen cookies. They are every bit as yummy and soft as the Hershey's recipe, too. I was afraid they would be hard but I was very pleasantly surprised.

1 c. peanut butter
1 c. sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
24 milk chocolate Hershey Kisses, foil removed

1. Cream together peanut butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla; beat until blended.
2. Roll into 1 1/4 balls (I rolled mine into 1-inch and was able to get about 3 dozen cookies). Place 2-inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees 10-12 minutes or until tops are cracked. Immediately press a kiss into the center of each cookie.
3. Cool cookies about 5 minutes on cookie sheet and then remove with spatula to cool completely on wire racks.

Makes: 2 dozen cookies
