Ingredients
  

Peanut Butter Blossom Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 25 Hershey's Kisses, unwrapped

Equipment

  • oven
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • medium bowl
  • whisk
  • large bowl
  • electric mixer (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the creamy peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and a soft dough forms.
Baking
  1. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and then roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat.
  2. Place the sugared dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft.
  4. Immediately press a Hershey's Kiss into the center of each hot cookie.
  5. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, ensure your butter is truly softened to room temperature for easier creaming. You can also slightly chill the dough for 15-20 minutes before rolling if it's too sticky, which can help prevent spreading.
