These flourless, 3 ingredient cookies (4 if you include the Kiss) were the perfect thing for my cookie craving one day when I was running low on all purpose flour (why I had little flour and a whole bag of Hershey's Kisses I may never fully understand). It's incredibly easy to substitute the sugar with Splenda or another sugar replacement for a lower calorie count–about 50 calories less per cookie. Yup. I did the math.
This recipe makes approximately 18 cookies
You will need:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar (or Splenda)
- 1 egg
- 18 Hershey's Kisses
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Beat sugar, peanut butter, and egg until fully incorporated. Here's a helpful tip for measuring peanut butter. Use a 2 cup measuring cup and fill it with one cup of water. Add peanut butter until the water line moves up to 2 cups. Now you can scoop out your peanut butter without having a sticky measuring cup!
- Roll your dough into 1" balls and place on ungreased baking sheet
- Bake for 10 minutes
- While cookies are baking, unwrap one Hershey Kiss per cookie and place to the side
- After the cookies are taken out of the oven, promptly and gently press a kiss into each cookie
- Let cool completely before eating. The kisses may remain melty and gooey (yum!) for several hours, so if you want cooled candy make sure you make the cookies at least 6 hours in advance.
Enjoy this delicious treat and try not to eat them all in one sitting!
