Peanut Butter Blossoms are classic, soft peanut butter cookies topped with a sweet chocolate kiss. Perfect for family gatherings and holiday treats, these cookies combine the rich, nutty flavor of peanut butter with the smooth sweetness of chocolate for an irresistible snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Topping

  • 24 chocolate kisses

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined, ensuring an even texture in the cookie dough.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. This helps distribute the leavening agents and salt evenly throughout the flour.
  4. Form the Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture while stirring, until a consistent dough forms without dry patches.
  5. Shape the Cookies: Roll the dough into 1-inch diameter balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading during baking.
  6. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they turn lightly golden around the edges.
  7. Add Chocolate Kisses: Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, press one chocolate kiss gently into the center of each cookie. The residual heat will slightly melt the base of the chocolate, helping it stick.
  8. Cool Down: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to set and firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For chewier cookies, slightly underbake by reducing baking time by 1-2 minutes.
  • You can substitute chocolate kisses with chocolate chips if desired.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Chilling the dough before baking can help maintain cookie shape and prevent spreading.
