Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl, mix together ⅓ cup pb powder + 3-4 tbsp water*, using 3 tbsp at first and then adding 1 more as needed for a runny, normal peanut butter-like consistency. This will vary based on the type of PB powder you use.
Pour this into a 1/3rd measuring cup and then add your 2 tbsp runny peanut butter on top or as much needed to get 1/3 cup of total peanut butter.
Pour this into a large mixing bowl and then add the 1 tbsp light butter, melted, 3 tbsp egg whites, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and ⅓ cup brown sugar and mix well using a hand beater.
Add in the 2/3 cup all purpose flour, ¾ tsp baking powder, 1/2 c hemp seeds, and ½ tsp salt and mix until a thick cookie dough has formed. Use a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop to scoop out 14 balls.
Place these on a sheet tray (they don't need much space between) and then use the back of a spoon or your hand to gently press down or flatten the cookies. If the dough is sticky, lightly wet the spoon each time it starts to stick to prevent it from sticking more.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until set around the edges. While they bake, unwrap the 14 Hershey's Kisses dark chocolate.
Remove from the oven and then immediately press the chocolate Kisses into each cookie's center. Let cool for 10-15 minutes, then enjoy! Let cool completely before storing.
