Peanut Butter Blossoms
Description
These cookies start with a dough of softened butter, light brown and granulated sugars, creamy peanut butter, egg, and vanilla, blended until smooth. Dry ingredients including flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt are gradually mixed in to form a dough that chills to improve handling and texture. After chilling, the dough is shaped into small balls, rolled in granulated sugar, and baked at 375°F for 8 minutes. Immediately after baking, each cookie is topped with an unwrapped milk chocolate kiss. As the cookies cool, the chocolate settles into a slightly melty dome that pairs with the peanut butter cookie base. The chilling step helps prevent flattening, ensuring a tender but structured texture.
Ingredients
- 10 Tablespoons butter softened to room temperature, unsalted
- ⅔ cup light brown sugar tightly packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup peanut butter creamy
- 1 large egg room temperature preferred
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup granulated sugar for rolling
- 24 milk chocolate kisses unwrapped
Instructions
- Combine butter and sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer (or you may use a large bowl and an electric mixer) and beat until well combined (about 1 minute).
- Add peanut butter and stir well.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract and stir until well-combined.
- In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add flour mixture into the peanut butter batter, pausing occasionally to scrape down sides and bottom of bowl so that all ingredients are well-combined.
- Cover dough with plastic wrap and Place in the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes to one hour*
- Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Pour remaining ½ cup of sugar into a small bowl and set aside.
- Once dough has chilled, remove from refrigerator and roll into 2-teaspoon-sized balls. Roll completely in sugar and place on prepared cookie sheet at least 2" apart.
- Bake on 375F (190C) for 8 minutes.
- Within a minute or so of removing cookies from oven, gently but firmly press a Hershey Kiss into the center of each cookie. Allow to cool completely on cookie sheet.
Notes
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes; if cookies flatten or dough is sticky, chill up to one hour or overnight.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
