Ingredients

3/4 cup smooth natural peanut butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 large egg
1 Tbsp. flour
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, divided
48 chocolate kisses, wrappers removed

Directions

1. Step 1Heat oven to 350°F. Beat first 5 ingredients in a bowl using an electric mixer until well combined.
2. Step 2Spoon dough by rounded 1/4 teaspoonfuls onto an unlined baking sheet. Flatten each piece into a dome shape.
3. Step 3Bake about 10 minutes or until golden around edges, rotating baking sheet halfway through baking. Let cool for 5 minutes on baking sheets.
4. Step 4Microwave 1/4 cup mini chips in a small heat-proof bowl on high for 30 seconds, stirring at 10-second intervals. Dip the bottom of each chocolate kiss in melted chocolate, and place on the flat side of each cookie. Use the same method to affix a mini chip "stem" to the top of each cookie, completing the acorn.
