Ingredients
For The Cookies:
- 1 tick unsalted butter at room temperature
- ¾ cup creamy sweetened peanut butter
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
To Finish:
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 24 Milk Chocolate Hershey Kisses unwrapped
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter, peanut butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar at medium speed for 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and egg and vanilla extract. Mix at medium speed for 1 minute.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture and mix at low speed until no streaks of flour remain. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and set in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
- While the dough chills, preheat the oven to 350˚F and line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using a 1.5 tablespoon-size spring loaded cookie scoop, scoop 12 dough balls on each prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Roll into even balls, then coat each in sugar. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies have puffed up and the edges have set.
- Remove cookies from the oven. Working quickly, press a Hershey Kiss into each cookie, then transfer to a cooling rack until the cookies are cool and the chocolate is set.

Notes
- To store: place your peanut butter blossoms in an airtight container and keep them at room temperature. If you need to stack the cookies, use a piece of wax or parchment paper between the layers to prevent the chocolate kisses from sticking to the bottom of the cookies on top.
- These cookies will last about a week at room temperature, but if you need to store them longer, they can be refrigerated. In the fridge, these cookies can last for up to 2 weeks, but be sure to store them in an airtight container to prevent them from drying out.
