Make the best Peanut Butter Blossom Recipe, a soft and chewy classic cookie topped with a melted chocolate kiss. This simple dessert is perfect for holiday baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar, plus extra for rolling
  • 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 72 milk chocolate kisses (unwrapped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. 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 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.
  6. Place about 2 tablespoons of extra granulated sugar into a shallow dish. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the sugar to coat completely.
  7. Place the sugared dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Immediately upon removing the cookies from the oven, gently press one chocolate kiss into the center of each warm cookie. The cookie will crack slightly around the base of the kiss.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The chocolate will set as they cool.

Notes

  • For the softest, chewiest bite, do not overbake the cookies. They should look slightly underdone in the center when you remove them from the oven.
  • Unwrap all your chocolate kisses before you start baking to make the final step quick.
  • If you want a gluten free Peanut Butter Blossom Recipe, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend.
