Peanut Butter Blossoms
Peanut Butter Blossoms are small, soft peanut butter cookies rolled in sugar and topped immediately after baking with a Hershey's Kiss, which creates a classic combination of sweet, creamy chocolate and nutty cookie. These treats offer a tender texture with a slightly crisp sugar coating and a distinct peanut butter flavor, ideal for sharing or festive occasions.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar plus more for rolling the cookies
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup peanut butter creamy
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 egg preferably at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 54 Hershey's Kisses
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unwrap your Hershey's kisses and set them aside.
- In a stand mixer or with electric beaters, combine the sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, soft butter, and egg until smooth.
- Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, and mix to combine until no streaks of flour remain.
- Scoop the dough into tablespoon sized portions and roll into round balls with your hands. Toss the balls in a small bowl of granulated sugar to coat evenly. Place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between the cookies. Note: we found no benefit to chilling the dough, so we use it right away.
- Bake for 8 minutes. The cookies will look puffed, and pale. Immediately, while the cookies are still hot on the baking tray, very gently press a Hershey's kiss into the center of each cookie. Note: it's important that you do this right away. Don't let the cookies cool, even for a minute.
- Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack. Allow the cookies to fully set up before enjoying or storing them, as the chocolate kisses absorb the heat from the cookie and will be very soft while they are still warm.

Notes
- These cookies are small and slightly bite-sized, maintaining a balanced cookie-to-chocolate ratio.
- To make larger cookies, increase the dough portion size and bake longer accordingly.
