Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies are a classic American treat that combines the rich flavor of peanut butter with the sweetness of chocolate. These cookies aren’t only soft and chewy but also topped with a delightful chocolate kiss, making them a favorite among both kids and adults alike.
The contrast between the nutty taste of the peanut butter and the smooth chocolate creates a perfect balance that will leave you wanting more. Perfect for holiday gatherings, bake sales, or simply indulging at home, these cookies are sure to impress.
Making Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies is a straightforward process, and the results are always rewarding. The dough comes together quickly, and after a brief chill in the refrigerator, you’ll be ready to scoop and bake.
The signature move is pressing a chocolate kiss into the center right after they come out of the oven, which creates the classic blossom look. With just a few pantry staples, you can whip up a batch of these delightful cookies in no time.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 24 chocolate kisses, unwrapped
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the cookies from sticking and make cleanup easier.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until well combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. For an extra touch, you can roll the dough balls in granulated sugar before placing them on the sheet.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove them from the oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Extra Tips:
For an added depth of flavor, you can mix in some chopped peanuts or chocolate chips into the dough. If you prefer a softer cookie, consider slightly underbaking them by a minute or two.
To keep the cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
