Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix wet ingredients & sugars. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together granulated sugar, brown sugar, creamy peanut butter, vanilla, butter, and egg until smooth.
Add in dry ingredients, mixing with a silicone spatula until a soft peanut butter cookie dough forms. Be patient here, the dough takes a bit to come together.
Make the cookie dough balls. Use a small cookie scoop to form cookie dough balls (about 1 inch) and roll each in additional sugar if desired. Arrange dough balls on a cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart.
Bake cookies one sheet pan at a time for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and centers still look soft. Remove from oven and immediately press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie.
Cool. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool until the chocolate center sets, about 1 hour.
