Peanut Butter Blossoms
Description
This Peanut Butter Blossoms recipe starts with creaming butter and smooth peanut butter together with granulated and brown sugars, creating a rich and moist base. Adding egg, milk, and vanilla integrates moisture and flavor. The dry ingredients of flour, baking soda, and salt are gently folded in to keep the dough tender. Scooping the dough and rolling it in sugar before baking gives the cookies a light crunchy exterior. Baking at 375°F until very lightly golden ensures they stay soft inside. Pressing an unwrapped Hershey’s Kiss into each cookie while warm causes expected cracking around the edges, which is typical for this cookie style.
Once cooled, the cookies set with a combination of soft peanut butter and creamy chocolate centers. They store well for up to three days in airtight containers, maintaining freshness for casual snacking or festive occasions.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 3/4 cup peanut butter smooth
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- granulated sugar for rolling, extra
- 36 whole Hershey's Kisses unwrapped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Beat softened butter and peanut butter in a large bowl until well blended. Measure and add in 1/3 cup granulated sugar and brown sugar. Stir until light and fluffy. Add egg, milk, and vanilla; stir well.
- Stir flour, baking soda, and salt into the peanut butter mixture until just incorporated. Scrape the sides of the bowl and mix again briefly.
- Scoop into cookies using a 1 1/2 tablespoon scoop. Roll in between your palms, and then roll in sugar. Place on baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until very lightly golden in color. Remove from oven and immediately press a Hershey's Kiss into each cookie. Cookies will crack around the edges with you press the chocolate in…totally normal! Cool for 5 minutes on the hot baking sheet and then remove to cooling racks.
- Store cooled cookies in airtight containers for up to three days.
