Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies are a classic treat that combines the rich flavor of peanut butter with the sweetness of chocolate. Here’s a simple recipe to make these delicious cookies:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
- About 24 Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Cream Butter and Peanut Butter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Shape Dough into Balls: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat evenly.
- Bake Cookies: Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked.
- Add Hershey’s Kisses: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie, gently pressing down until the cookie cracks around the edges.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, enjoy these delicious Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage
