Peanut Butter Blossoms

Delicious peanut butter cookies topped with a chocolate kiss, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 13/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon table salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (extra for rolling)
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 40 to 42 milk chocolate kisses, unwrapped

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside the dry mixture.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the unsalted butter until it is smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the creamed butter, then beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Mix in the peanut butter, followed by the milk, vanilla extract, and egg until everything is well combined.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a stiff dough forms. Cover and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Roll 1-1/4 inch portions of dough into balls and roll them in the extra granulated sugar.
  7. Place the cookie balls on ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are set and lightly browned around the edges.
  9. After removing the cookies from the oven, gently press a Hershey’s kiss into the center of each cookie.
  10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy mixing. If the dough is sticky, wet your hands slightly while rolling the balls.
