Instructions
- Adjust the oven racks to the upper and lower thirds and preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray or use parchment line paper.
- Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- Beat the peanut butter, butter and shortening in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium high until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the brown sugar and continue to beat until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and continue to beat until incorporated. Add the flour mixture in two batches and beat on medium until incorporated. Fold in the peanut butter chips.
- Scoop out level tablespoons of dough, roll into balls and space about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. (You will need to bake the cookies in batches; allow the baking sheets to cool in between batches.)
- Bake until the bottoms and edges of the cookies are golden brown but the middles are still soft, about 10 minutes. (The cookies will bake a bit after they come out of the oven). Indent the warm cookies with the rounded bottom of a teaspoon. Top each with a chocolate kiss candy.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes and then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
