These chewy peanut butter blossom cookies feature a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture with a classic Hershey’s Kiss chocolate center, perfect for any occasion and quick to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (165g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup (250g) creamy unsalted peanut butter
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Granulated sugar for rolling
  • Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped (classic milk chocolate or dark chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the peanut butter until smooth, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or folding with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop dough balls and roll each in granulated sugar. Place them about 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes until edges look set but centers are still soft.
  8. Immediately after removing from the oven, press one unwrapped Hershey Kiss into the center of each cookie.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

If dough is too sticky to roll, chill for 15-20 minutes. Use fresh baking soda for best rise. Do not overbake to maintain chewiness. Roll dough balls in sugar for a subtle crunchy coating. Press Hershey Kiss gently into warm cookies to avoid cracking.
