- 6 Tbsps butter, softened
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup REESE’S Creamy Peanut Butter
- 2 tsps water
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsps egg, beaten
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, peanut butter, water, and vanilla extract.
- Add the beaten egg and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully incorporated.
- Shape the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in granulated sugar.
- Place the dough balls on an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the centers are soft.
- Immediately press a HERSHEY’S KISS into the center of each cookie as soon as it’s removed from the oven.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before filling with frosting.
- Separate white frosting into four bowls, tinting each with a different house color (red, yellow, blue, green).
- Gently pipe a small amount of colored frosting into the bottom of each cookie to reveal the Hogwarts house when bitten into.
Notes
- For a sturdier dough, chill for 30 minutes before rolling into balls.
- Ensure the frosting is well hidden inside to maintain the surprise element.
