This is the reliable recipe for soft and chewy Peanut Butter Blossom cookies, featuring a sugary crackle top and a classic chocolate kiss center. These cookies stay tender and are simple to make for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar, plus extra for rolling
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • About 1 bag Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix the dough.
  6. Pour extra granulated sugar onto a shallow plate.
  7. Scoop the dough into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Roll each ball in the sugar until fully coated.
  8. Place the sugared dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers will still look slightly soft.
  10. Remove the baking sheets from the oven. Immediately press one unwrapped Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each warm cookie. The heat from the cookie will soften the chocolate slightly.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the best texture, avoid overbaking. The cookies firm up as they cool.
  • You can make the dough ahead of time and chill it for up to 3 days. Roll and bake directly from the refrigerator, adding 1-2 minutes to the baking time.
  • These cookies are excellent for holiday cookie exchanges and gifting.
