Nipple cookies

Seriously - who looks at these and doesn't think "Nipples!"
No one, that's who.  Photo courtesy of www.hersheys.com
For a wide variety of reasons, these are one of Wife's favorite cookies.  They're also one of mine, but for a different reason - these are the easiest cookies in the world to make.  And I have been busting them out like it's my job lately.

To make delicious nipple cookies (aka peanut butter kiss cookies):
1 c sugar
1 c peanut butter
1 large egg
15-18 unwrapped chocolate kisses (if you leave these wrapped and put them on the cookies, please tell me so I can laugh at you)

Mmm, kisses. 












Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Combine the sugar, peanut butter, and egg, mixing until thoroughly combined.  We're talking Play-Doh consistency, people.


With your hands, form the dough into roughly 1-inch balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.  This recipe makes about 15-18 cookies, depending on how big you like your balls (heh, heh).

I like big balls.

Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees.  Remove from oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie.  Let cool and enjoy.


A couple side notes.
One - before wrapping them up, place the cookies, uncovered, in the refrigerator to cool.  Otherwise, the kisses will still be melty and they'll end up smushed and stuck to the wrap/foil/container lid.
Two - caramel-filled kisses are FANTASTIC on these.  I usually hate caramel.  I really do.  I only really like it when it's an accent to something else, like pumpkin cheesecake (which is another blog post entirely).  But with these cookies, it plays off the peanut butter and just makes everything peanuttier.  Yum.
