Make the classic Peanut Butter Blossoms, soft and chewy peanut butter cookies topped with a melted milk chocolate Hershey’s Kiss. This recipe is simple and perfect for holiday baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar, plus 1/4 cup for rolling
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 bag (12 oz) milk chocolate Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix the dough.
  5. Place the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar in a shallow dish.
  6. Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the sugar coating until fully covered.
  7. Place the sugared balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly set. The cookies will look slightly underbaked in the center.
  9. Immediately upon removing the cookies from the oven, gently press one unwrapped Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each warm cookie. The residual heat will soften the chocolate slightly.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The Kiss will set as the cookie cools.

Notes

  • For the softest cookies, remove the cookies from the oven when the edges are just beginning to set.
  • If you want a firmer Kiss, wait 2 to 3 minutes after removing the cookies from the oven before pressing the chocolate in.
  • You can use different types of Kisses, such as Hugs or colored holiday Kisses, for variation.
