Tender, perfect Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies (aka Peanut Butter Blossoms) are a classic holiday or any-time dessert. Super easy to make, these are the softest, chewiest cookies you’ll make! The Hershey’s Kiss pressed into the center MAKES the cookie!
INGREDIENTS
-1/2 c salted butter
-1/2 c sugar
-1/2 c brown sugar
-1 egg
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-1/2 c creamy peanut butter
-1 1/2 c flour
-1 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp corn starch
- 1 tsp salt
-1/2 c sugar (for rolling)
-24 Hershey Kisses chocolates
STEP 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
STEP 2
Using a stand mixer, combine the butter, granulated and brown sugars, egg and vanilla and beat until creamy and free of lumps. Add the peanut butter and mix until just combined.
STEP 3
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, corn starch and salt. Mix well. Gradually add to the butter mixture and beat on medium speed until just combined.
Pour the 1/2 cup granulated sugar into a small bowl.
STEP 4
Scoop out tablespoon-size portions of batter and roll into balls. Roll the balls in the sugar and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
STEP 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
STEP 6
Remove from oven and gently but firmly press one chocolate candy into the center of each cookie. Allow to cool completely.
STEP 7
Roll the balls of dough in granulated sugar or opt for a chunkier sugar texture and use turbinado sugar instead.
