Make classic Peanut Butter Blossoms that stay soft and chewy. This recipe uses simple steps to create the iconic peanut butter cookie base topped with a chocolate kiss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • About 1 bag (12 ounces) Hershey’s 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, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir 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 until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat lightly.
  7. Place the sugared balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The edges should look set but the centers should still look slightly soft.
  9. Immediately upon removing the cookies from the oven, press one unwrapped chocolate kiss gently 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.

Notes

  • For extra soft cookies, slightly underbake them; they firm up as they cool.
  • If your cookies crack too much during baking, try chilling the dough for 30 minutes before rolling and baking.
  • Use creamy peanut butter for the best texture in the cookie base.
