Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp fine sea salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 large egg
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
Purple gel food coloring
Halloween sprinkles or purple sanding sugar
33 chocolate kisses or hugs candies, unwrapped
Instructions
1. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
2. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, peanut butter, and vanilla, and mix until smooth.
3. Add dry ingredients to wet and stir to combine. Add purple gel food coloring until desired shade is reached.
4. Scoop dough into tablespoon-sized mounds, chill for 2 hours or overnight.
5. Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll dough balls in sprinkles or sugar, then bake for 9–11 minutes.

Notes
Chill the dough to prevent cookies from spreading. Use parchment paper for even baking. Press kisses gently to avoid cracking.
