Peanut Butter Kiss Crackles (Soft + Chewy)
These Peanut Butter Crackles are based on my Grammy’s recipe that she has used for years. They bake up soft, rich, and perfectly crackly on top with that classic sweet peanut butter flavor everyone reaches for first. Rolled in sugar before baking for a delicate crisp exterior and soft center, they’re simple, nostalgic, and perfect with a cold glass of milk!

Tips for Best Cookies

- Use creamy peanut butter for the best texture
- Roll generously in sugar
- Press the chocolate kissed in gently right after baking to ensure they stick and slightly melt into the cookie
