Make soft, chewy peanut butter blossom cookies topped with a chocolate kiss. This is a simple recipe for traditional holiday baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • About 48 Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for rolling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Mix in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until combined.
  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 1/4 cup of granulated sugar in a shallow dish. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the 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, or until the edges are lightly set but the centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Remove the sheets from the oven. Immediately press one unwrapped Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each warm cookie.
  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 cookies, do not overbake. Remove them when the edges are just starting to brown.
  • You can chill the dough for 30 minutes if your kitchen is very warm, but this recipe works well without chilling.
  • If the chocolate kisses start to melt too much, wait a minute or two after removing the cookies from the oven before pressing them in.
