Ingredients
  

  • 90 grams unsalted butter, softened
  • 135 grams creamy peanut butter
  • 100 grams granulated sugar
  • 50 grams packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 140 grams all-purpose flour
  • 24 pieces chocolate kiss candies, unwrapped May use any brand of chocolate kiss or substitute with a chocolate chunk if preferred.
  • 25 grams granulated sugar, for rolling

Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 electric mixer or whisk
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 cookie sheet
  • 1 parchment paper or nonstick spray
  • 1 cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and peanut butter until smooth.
  3. Add in the granulated sugar and light brown sugar. Beat until well combined and fluffy.
  4. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
  5. Sprinkle in the baking soda and salt, then stir to combine.
  6. Gradually add the flour and mix until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  7. Scoop out tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll into balls. Roll each ball in the extra granulated sugar to coat.
  8. Place dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until just set and lightly golden at the edges.
  10. Remove cookies from the oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie.
  11. Allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
  12. Enjoy your fresh batch of peanut butter blossom cookies—perfect with a glass of milk!

Notes

For chewier cookies, do not over-bake; they will set as they cool.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
You may use any brand of chocolate kiss or substitute with a chocolate chunk if preferred.
