Using an electric mixer on medium speed cream together butter, brown sugar, 1/4 cp. of the granulated sugar, peanut butter and vanilla in a medium size bowl until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.Stop the mixer twice to scrape bowl with a spatula.

Bake until cookies are light gold, 8 to 10 minutes. Do not over bake. Remove from oven, immediately top each cookie with a Hershey's Kiss, flat side down pressing firmly to embed it in the center of the cookie. Carefully remove the cookies from the sheet placing on a wire rack or plate.

Personal Notes:
I took second place or second runner-up with this cookie at the Human Family Reunion this year (2005)
This is a yummy peanut butter cookie with a Hershey's Kiss pressed in the center. The recipe was given to me by my sister-in-law Jean Doi about 12 years ago
This is a long time favorite of my family.
