Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies are a cherished holiday tradition in our home, always disappearing faster than I can cool them—especially with my brothers sneaking a few straight off the tray. Their soft, chewy peanut butter base topped with a perfectly melty chocolate kiss makes them irresistible, and they never fail to bring back memories of baking together as a family. The best part? They’re really easy to whip up, requiring just a few ingredients and a few minutes of rolling creates a classic treat everyone will enjoy.

Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (plus extra for rolling)
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • About 36 Hershey’s kisses, unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
  4. Shape and Roll: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat.
  5. Bake: Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are puffed.
  6. Add Hershey’s Kisses: Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a kiss into the center of each cookie. The cookies may crack slightly around the edges—this is normal.
  7. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
