Description
Easy Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies are soft, chewy, sugar-coated peanut butter cookies topped with melty chocolate centers. They come together quickly with simple pantry ingredients, making them perfect for holidays, bake sales, or any time you want a nostalgic, delicious treat.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (omit if using salted butter)
- Granulated sugar for rolling
- About 36 chocolate kisses, unwrapped
Instructions
- Beat peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy. Add egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to wet ingredients and mix on low until a soft dough forms.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls and coat in granulated sugar. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes until puffy and lightly cracked.
- Immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie to create the blossom shape.
- Cool cookies completely on a wire rack so the chocolate can set.
Notes
Unwrap chocolate kisses before baking. Chill dough briefly if too soft. Do not overbake—cookies finish setting as they cool. Measure flour accurately to prevent dry dough.
