Ingredients
- Unsalted Butter
- Creamy Peanut Butter
- Brown Sugar
- Granulated Sugar
- Egg
- Milk
- Vanilla Extract
- Gluten Free Flour
- Baking Soda
- Sea Salt
- Hershey's Milk Chocolate Kisses
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In the bowl of your stand mixer beat the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until combined and fluffy.
Add the egg, milk and vanilla and beat just until they are combined into the mixture.
Add the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until just combined.
Pour about ½ cup granulated sugar into a small bowl.
Using a cookies scoop, scoop the dough, roll into a ball and the roll the dough ball in the granulated sugar. Place on the baking sheet and repeat these steps for the rest of the cookie dough.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until the edges are just starting to get golden brown. Remove from the oven and immediately press Hershey's milk chocolate kisses in to the center of each cookie.
Move the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely. Store in an air tight container for up to a week.
Hint: These cookies freeze really well in a freezer safe container or bag for up to a month. I love to double the batch and freeze half of the cookies for later.

FAQ
Some of the flavor varieties are clearly marked on the packaging as gluten free. There are some flavors that are not gluten free though so you must check the packaging for each kind before purchasing.
The gluten free flour you use is really important for the texture of your cookies. If you use a coarse ground gluten free flour your cookies will have a gritty texture. It's important that you choose a flour that is specifically for baking.
I like Namaste Gluten Free Flour, Bob's Redmill 1-to-1 Baking Flour and King Arthur Measure for Measure Gluten Free Flour. My baked goods have turned out well using any of these flours.
Yes, gluten free cookies do tend to take longer to bake than cookies made with a gluten flour. The outside of the cookie will be browned, but they may not be cooked through in the center.
If you are having this issue you can lower the oven temperature and bake the cookies a bit longer. I also only bake one baking sheet at a time of gluten free cookies. They need to be evenly heated to cook correctly.
