Make the best peanut butter blossom cookies that stay soft and chewy long after baking. This recipe delivers the iconic sweet and salty flavor combination with a perfect chocolate kiss center.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light 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 cup granulated sugar, for rolling
  • 1 bag (12 ounces) 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. Pour the remaining 1 cup of granulated sugar into a shallow dish.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball thoroughly in the sugar until completely coated.
  8. Place the sugared dough 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 unwrapped Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each warm cookie. The residual heat will slightly melt the chocolate.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the softest cookies, do not overbake. Remove them when the edges look set but the middle still appears slightly underdone.
  • If your chocolate kisses are too soft to press in, wait 2-3 minutes after removing the cookies from the oven before adding them.
  • If you are baking at high altitude, reduce the baking powder to 1/4 teaspoon and slightly increase the liquid or decrease the flour by 1 tablespoon.
