Unwrap 50 chocolate 'kisses' - set candy aside.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, combine & mix well:
3/4 cup softened butter
3/4 cup smooth or crunchy peanut butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup white sugar
1 egg plus 1 extra egg yolk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
Slowly, add to above mixture & mix to make a workable dough:
1-1/2 teasp. baking soda
2-1/2 C. flour
Get a small bowl, add 1/2 cup white sugar & keep near bowl of cookie dough.
Form 1" balls of dough - roll gently in white sugar to coat - place balls on parchment lined baking sheets, leaving 1" space between balls (20 per sheet).
Bake for 9-10 minutes, making sure the cookies aren't too undercooked, but NOT browned. Remove from oven and immediately place a chocolate kiss in the center of each dough ball, pressing firmly enough to set in, but not TOO firmly - you don't want them to go through the bottom of the cookie dough. Leave the cookies to set - it'll take a pretty long time (at least a couple hours) since the chocolate will melt, but will then cool down to room temperature.
