Make the ultimate holiday cookie with this recipe for soft and chewy Peanut Butter Blossoms, topped with a classic milk chocolate Hershey Kiss. This is a tried-and-true recipe for traditional American home baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 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 1 cup granulated sugar for rolling
  • 1 bag (12 ounces) Hershey’s 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. You can use a stand mixer or a hand mixer for this step.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir 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 about 1 cup of extra granulated sugar in a shallow dish.
  7. Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball thoroughly in the extra granulated 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. The cookies will look slightly puffed and set, but they should still look soft.
  10. Remove the baking sheets from the oven. Immediately press one unwrapped Hershey’s Kiss gently into the center of each warm cookie. The residual heat will soften the chocolate slightly.
  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, chewiest Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies, do not overbake. They should look slightly underdone when you remove them from the oven.
  • If you prefer a slightly firmer cookie, you can chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling, though this recipe is designed for no chill cookie dough.
  • Use creamy peanut butter for the best texture in these Classic Peanut Butter Blossoms.
