  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • sea salt for the tops optional

Instructions

  • In a medium size mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and peanut butter.

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a dough forms.
  • Roll the dough into 24 balls, rolling the tops in the turbinado sugar and place on a couple of baking sheets lined with payment paper or a baking mat.

  • Move the cookies to a cooling rack and allow to cool. If desired, you can also sprinkle these with a little sea salt.

Notes

For the chocolate candies, you can use Hershey's Kisses, mini peanut butter cups, or chocolate stars. Other chocolate candies that are approximately the size of a Hershey's Kiss can work well too.
I will unwrap the chocolates (if individually wrapped) and place in the refrigerator until I am ready to use them in this recipe.
