Peanut Butter Blossoms

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Chill Time 30 minutes
Yield: 4 dozen
Peanut butter blossoms are a classic Christmas cookie recipe that need to be on your cookie tray. These peanut butter blossom cookies are soft, chewy peanut butter cookies topped with Hershey's kisses for the perfect chocolate peanut butter flavor.

Ingredients 

  • ½ cup (114 g) unsalted butter room temperature
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (110 g) light brown sugar
  • ½ cup (129 g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 (1) large egg room temperature
  • 1 tsp (4 g) vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups (156 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp (2 g) baking soda
  • ½ tsp (3 g) salt
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar for rolling cookie dough balls before baking
  • 48 (48) Hershey's kisses unwrapped

Instructions

  • In the bowl of stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or in a large mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined and smooth. Add in the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Add in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt and mix on low speed until the cookie dough comes together.
  • Portion the cookie dough using a small cookie scoop (1 tablespoon). Chill the dough balls for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350℉ (177℃). Line baking sheet pans with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
  • Roll the chilled peanut butter cookie dough balls to create smooth dough balls and then roll in the additional granulated sugar. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking pan allowing space for spreading.
  • Bake the cookies for about 9 to 10 minutes. The cookies may appear slightly underbaked. Immediately press an unwrapped Hershey's kiss in the center of each cookie. Cool the cookies on the pan for 2 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store the cookies in an airtight container or resealable storage bag at room temperature for 2 to 3 days.
