Classic Soft Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies

The classic soft peanut buttery Christmas cookie that could not be easier to make!

Jump to Recipe

Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies have been a classic Christmas cookie in my family for years! The reason? They taste INCREDIBLE and they are INCREDIBLY easy to make! Honestly the hardest part is unwrapping all the hershey chocolate kisses.

Tip One: To get a round cookie, chill your dough for exactly 15 minutes in the refrigerator.

This will help the cookies hold their shape, while still being able to be easily rolled into balls. Trust me it goes by quick! After you make your dough, use the chill time to unwrap your chocolate kisses or do a bit of clean up.

Tip Two: Make sure you add the hershey kisses right AFTER the cookie has baked.

This is the trick to making the hershey kisses hold their shape and you get that crackly look.

Tip Three: Use any flavour of hershey kisses you want!

There are so many fun flavours out there nowadays for hershey kisses! All of them would be fun additions to this cookie! Have fun with it! This is also a great cookie to get kids involved. So fun!

The classic soft peanut buttery Christmas cookie that could not be easier to make!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup of salted butter, room temperature

  • 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (plus 1/4 cup for sugar coating)

  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 tablespoon milk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour

  • 20 chocolate kiss candies, unwrapped

Directions

  • Using a hand mixer, beat butter and peanut butter until light and creamy. Add in granulated and brown sugar. Mix until creamed and smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Add egg, milk, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
  • Add in flour and baking soda. Mix until there are no more lumps. Cover and chill dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper.
  • After dough has chilled, scoop out about a tablespoon of dough at a time and roll into the 1/4 cup of sugar until coated on all sides. Arrange on baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the tops begin to slightly crack.
  • Remove cookies from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Then press a chocolate kiss into each cookie until it sticks. Enjoy! 🙂
