How to make Peanut Butter Blossoms
These Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies start with a very basic peanut butter cookie recipe, right down to rolling them in sugar before baking. To make these simple peanut blossom cookies follow these simple steps. Scroll down for the complete recipe ingredients and instructions.
- Start with room temperature/softened butter and peanut butter, mix together with sugars, vanilla and eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer or with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Place a sifter over the bowl of the stand mixer and pour in the flour, soda and salt. Sift into the wet ingredients.
- Mix together the wet and dry ingredients until fully combined. The dough will look a little like sand and will come together easily when rolled into a ball.
- Pick up the dough and roll into one inch balls. Roll each ball in sugar and place onto a parchment lined (optional) baking sheet.
- Bake in a 350º F oven for 8-10 minutes. The cookies will flatten out as they are baked.
- Remove the cookies from the pan to a cooling rack and while still warm, place an unwrapped Hershey’s Chocolate Kiss in the center of the cookie. The chocolate will begin to melt, but this will help it stay in the center of the cookie when it cools.
- Now for the best part!! Eat the cookies! I say eat some while they are still warm and the chocolate is soft and melty!!
