All you need is peanut butter, sugar, one egg and chocolate kisses or mini peanut butter cups

Jane’s tip: Spray a one cup measure with cooking spray and the peanut butter is much easier to scoop into the bowl.

Use a spoon or small cookie scoop to make round balls. The balls will not spread, I fit 16 on a sheet pan.

When the cookies come out of the oven, quickly press a candy in the center.
