Peanut Butter Blossoms
Description
Peanut Butter Blossoms feature a dough made from brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, creamy peanut butter, egg, vanilla, and dry ingredients including baking soda and salt. After chilling, the dough is shaped into balls, rolled in sugar, and baked until lightly browned with cracked tops. Pressing an unwrapped Hershey's kiss into the warm cookies creates a signature indentation and melty chocolate center.
The cookies have a tender yet slightly crisp edge texture with a soft, chewy center enriched by creamy peanut butter and sweet sugar coating. This method balances moisture and structure for a satisfying homemade cookie experience.
These cookies can be served as a snack or dessert, and their individually portioned size makes them easy to share. They pair well with milk or coffee and are popular at gatherings and festive occasions.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter softened, unsalted
- 1/2 cup peanut butter creamy
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar for rolling
- 40 chocolate kisses unwrapped
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, softened butter and peanut butter using a hand mixer. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, just for a couple of minutes.
- Add in the egg and vanilla, beat until well mixed. Add flour, baking soda, and salt, and beat on low until fully combined.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 F degrees. Line a baking sheet with a cookie mat or parchment paper and set aside.
- Add the additional 1/2 cup granulated sugar to a small bowl, and set aside.
- Shape 1 1/2 Tablespoons of cookie dough into a 1 inch ball using your hands. Gently roll balls in the bowl of granulated sugar to coat on all sides. Place approximately 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet and bake 9-10 minutes, until lightly brown and tops of cookies look a bit cracked.
- Press a Hershey chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie, then remove to a cooling rack to continue cooling.
