These chewy peanut butter blossom cookies combine the classic flavors of peanut butter and chocolate kisses for a nostalgic, soft, and chewy treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for dough)
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • About 36 Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed light brown sugar until creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Mix in creamy peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Slowly add dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Scoop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls (about 1 inch diameter) and roll each ball in granulated sugar.
  7. Place sugar-coated dough balls about 2 inches apart on baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges look set but centers are still soft.
  9. Immediately press one unwrapped Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie after removing from oven.
  10. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If dough is too sticky, chill in fridge for 15 minutes before rolling. Avoid overbaking to keep cookies chewy. Room temperature ingredients help with mixing. Rolling dough in sugar creates a crunchy crust. Cookies can be stored in airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
