Bake the traditional Peanut Butter Blossom cookie. This recipe yields soft, chewy peanut butter cookies with a signature crackled top, finished with a milk chocolate kiss. It is a simple dessert perfect for holiday gatherings.

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)
  • About 1 cup milk chocolate kisses (like Hershey’s Kisses), unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, 3/4 cup 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 the dough.
  6. Place the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar in a shallow dish.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball thoroughly in the sugar to coat completely.
  8. Place the sugared balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
  10. Immediately upon removing the cookies from the oven, gently press one chocolate kiss into the center of each warm cookie. The residual heat will soften the chocolate slightly.
  11. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the softest texture, do not overbake the cookies; they should look slightly underdone when you remove them from the oven.
  • If you are planning your weekly meals, these cookies pair well with simple weeknight dinners.
  • If you need quick dessert ideas, these are simple to prepare and bake quickly.
