Peanut butter cookies for work friends

I promised a coworker something with peanut butter and chocolate.  I think this will work...

Peanut Butter Hershey Kiss Cookies with Sea Salt
Recipe adapted from Knead To Cook

Ingredients:
  • 2 sticks butter at room temp
  • 1/2 cup of peanut butter 
  • 1/3 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup of light brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 cup of all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • About 20 or so Hershey Kisses
  • Sea Salt for sprinkling on top

Method:  

Preheat oven to 350.  Mix flours, b soda, b powder, and salt in small bowl.  In bowl of a stand mixer beat the butter, peanut butter, and sugars until light and fluffy.  Mix in egg and vanilla.  Add the flour mixture.  Make walnut-sized balls out of the batter and place on cookie sheet.  Press one hershey kiss face-down into each cookie and then sprinkle with sea salt.  Bake for 14 minutes or until they are as golden as you like them.  I like them pretty golden around the edges.
