Easy Peanut Butter Blossoms: Perfect Holiday Cookies


  • Author: Jessica

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (120g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 24 milk chocolate kisses, unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter and softened butter using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy.
    • Gradually add the granulated sugar and brown sugar, beating until well combined.
    • Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, ensuring everything is fully incorporated.
  2. Combine the Dry Ingredients
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
  3. Shape and Bake
    • Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in a bit of granulated sugar for added sweetness and texture.
    • Place the balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
    • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  4. Add the Chocolate
    • Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, gently press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. The cookie will crack slightly around the edges—this is perfectly normal!
    • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
