Make the best Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies with this easy recipe. These cookies have a soft, chewy texture, a sugary crackle top, and are finished with a classic Hershey’s Kiss.

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
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar, for rolling
  • 1 bag (about 12 ounces) milk chocolate kisses, unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, peanut butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is creamy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium 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 the dough.
  6. Place the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar in a shallow dish.
  7. Scoop the dough into rounded tablespoons. Roll each ball in the sugar until fully coated.
  8. Place the sugar-coated dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers will still look slightly soft.
  10. Remove the baking sheets from the oven. Immediately press one unwrapped chocolate kiss into the center of each warm cookie.
  11. 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, do not overbake. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
  • If your chocolate kisses start to melt too much while pressing, chill the dough balls for 15 minutes before baking.
  • You can substitute creamy peanut butter with crunchy peanut butter for added texture.
