Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix Eagle Brand, peanut butter, Bisquick mix, and vanilla until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and roll them into sugar.
- Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 350° to 375° for 6 to 8 minutes or until lightly brown.
- Remove from oven and immediately place a Hershey Kiss in the center of each cookie.

Tips & Substitutions
For an extra touch, try adding a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors of the peanut butter and chocolate. You can substitute the peanut butter with almond butter for a different nutty flavor or use a nut-free spread for allergy concerns. If you're short on time, instead of rolling the balls in sugar, you can also sprinkle them with powdered sugar after baking.
Serving Suggestions
These Hershey Kisses Cookies are perfect for holiday gatherings or as a sweet treat for kids' parties. Pair them with a glass of cold milk or hot cocoa for a delightful dessert experience. For a unique twist, serve them alongside Sweet Broiled Grapefruit to balance the sweetness with a citrusy flavor. They also make excellent gifts when packaged in decorative boxes.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them fresh longer, freeze the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag. To reheat, place them in a microwave for a few seconds or warm them in an oven at 350°F for a few minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these cookies without Bisquick?
Yes, you can make your own mix by combining 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. This will serve as a great substitute for the Bisquick mix in the recipe.
How can I make these cookies gluten-free?
To make the cookies gluten-free, substitute the Bisquick mix with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Ensure that the peanut butter and Hershey Kisses are also gluten-free, as some brands may contain gluten as an additive.
Can I add chocolate chips to the cookie dough?
Absolutely! Adding a cup of chocolate chips to the dough before baking will enhance the chocolate flavor and create a delightful texture. Just fold them in gently after mixing the main ingredients.
