Ingredients

• ½ cup butter, softened
• ½ cup creamy peanut butter
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt

How to Make Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Make the Cookie Dough

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.

Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Add the Dry Ingredients

Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until a soft cookie dough forms.

Roll the Cookies

Scoop the dough into small balls about 1 inch in size.

Roll each ball in granulated sugar and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

Bake the Cookies

Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the cookies are lightly golden and puffed.

Add the Hershey’s Kiss

Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie.

The cookie will crack slightly around the edges as you press the chocolate into the middle, which gives them their classic blossom look.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

There’s just something about that soft peanut butter cookie with the chocolate kiss on top that feels nostalgic and comforting. They’re simple, classic, and always one of the first cookies to disappear.

I also love how easy they are to make. The dough comes together quickly, and pressing the chocolate kiss into the warm cookies is the best part.

These are definitely one of those cookie recipes you’ll want to keep around forever.

Tips for the Best Peanut Butter Blossoms

• Roll the dough in sugar for that classic sparkle
• Add the chocolate kisses immediately after baking
• Let the cookies cool so the chocolate sets properly
• Don’t overbake or the cookies will lose their soft texture

Storage

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

They also freeze well for up to 2 months.

Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies are a timeless classic. With soft peanut butter cookies and a chocolate kiss in the center, they’re simple, delicious, and perfect for any occasion.
