Description
These peanut butter blossoms are soft, peanut butter-y, rolled in granulated sugar and topped with a Hershey’s Kiss.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1⅓ cup all-purpose flour (167 grams)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter (112 grams) (softened but not starting to melt)
- ¾ cup peanut butter
- ½ cup light brown sugar (105 grams)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar (67 grams) (for rolling the cookie dough balls)
- 30 Hershey’s Kisses
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
- Mix the egg and vanilla extract into the peanut butter mixture until you no longer can see pieces of egg.
- Add the bowl of dry ingredients into the peanut butter mixture. Mix together until combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1 hour or up to 48 hours.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350℉ (180℃). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Spoon the dough into balls with about 1 tablespoon of dough each. Pour the ⅓ cup of sugar onto a shallow bowl. Roll each cookie dough ball in the granulated sugar. Place cookie dough balls about 2 inches apart on a lined cookie sheet.
- Bake in the middle of the preheated oven for about 8-11 minutes or until the tops look just set.
- Place an unwrapped Hershey’s Kiss on top of each cookie in the middle, pressing down lightly. To avoid the chocolate melting, immediately place the cookie sheet in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.
