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

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 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
  • 1/4 cup extra granulated sugar for rolling
  • About 72 milk chocolate Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is creamy.
  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. Pour the extra granulated sugar onto a shallow plate.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the extra sugar until fully coated.
  7. Place the sugared dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The cookies will look slightly puffed and set, but not deeply browned.
  9. Remove the baking sheets from the oven. Immediately press one unwrapped Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each warm cookie. The heat from the cookie 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 chocolate will set as the cookies cool.

Notes

  • For the softest texture, do not overbake the cookies; they should look slightly underdone when you remove them from the oven for the kiss pressing step.
  • If you want a gluten free peanut butter blossoms option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend.
  • You can chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling if your dough feels too soft to handle easily.
