Make classic Peanut Butter Blossom cookies that stay soft and chewy. This recipe uses simple ingredients for the iconic peanut butter and chocolate kiss combination, perfect for holidays.

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 baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • About 48 Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped
  • Extra granulated sugar for rolling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, 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, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Place about 1 tablespoon of dough into your hand. Roll the dough into a smooth ball. Roll the dough ball in extra granulated 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 edges should be set, but the centers should still look slightly soft.
  9. Remove the cookies from the oven. Immediately press one unwrapped chocolate kiss gently 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.

Notes

  • For the softest cookies, slightly underbake them; they will firm up as they cool.
  • Do not chill the dough; room temperature ingredients mix better for a soft texture.
  • Press the chocolate kiss into the center right after removing the cookies from the oven for the best melt and shape.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain softness.
