Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, stir the creamy peanut butter and maple syrup together with a silicone spatula until well combined.
Cover and freeze for 30 to 45 minutes. A hand mixer is not necessary, but if desired, use low speed.
When the dough is chilled, preheat the oven to 350ºF (177ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Use a small cookie scoop or one tablespoon to scoop out a rounded tablespoon of peanut butter cookie dough.
Use your hands to roll it into balls of dough and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. You will get about 13 1-inch balls.
Tip: Roll the cookie dough ball quickly and do not overhandle it or the peanut butter will soften as it comes back to room temperature. Do NOT flatten the cookie because it will spread as it bakes.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges will be slightly golden brown. While the cookies are still hot, immediately press a chocolate kiss in the center of each cookie.
Place the cookies on a wire rack to cool completely.
Tip: If the cookie looks liquidy when the kiss is pressed into the center of the cookie, it likely needs another minute or two in the oven.
