Peanut butter blossom cookies are a classic cookie everyone knows and loves. Creamy peanut butter and a big ol' chocolate Hershey kiss in the middle. It's cookie every adult loves and reminds them of childhood. It's a cookie every child is growing to love.
This peanut butter blossom cookie recipe comes from a previous contributor, Anna, of oh so. It's her Grandma Eliason's recipe and her dad's favorite cookie. It's such a special family recipe! It's quite delicious.
HOW TO MAKE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES
There are not a ton of ingredients (hallelujah!). All you need is:
- peanut butter
- butter
- sugar (brown and white)
- egg
- flour
- baking soda
- salt
- and Hershey kisses
HOW TO MAKE PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOM COOKIE DOUGH
- Start by beating your butter. You do not want melted butter, cold butter us better.
- Add your peanut butter and beat together
- Add in your white and brown sugar
- beat all ingredients together
Next Add your egg, flour, baking soda and salt all while beating.
CHILL YOUR DOUGH
This dough does best when it is chilled. Place the bowl in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Baking Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies
Here are some tips to baking these cookies:
- Baking is touchy. If the butter consistancy isn't right, your cookies can be too flat. Some of my butter tricks include keeping the butter refrigerated and beating it with my old school electric egg beaters (or you can use your KitchenAid). DO NOT melt the better. Also, once I've made the dough, I refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes.
- I only use KitchenAid or electric mixer for the butter. I switch to a spoon after that because I dont want to over mix. Over mixing can also make flat cookies. No Bueno.
I'm a big fan of Parchment Paper. It keeps my pans clean and the cookies also come off much easier. When the cookies come out of the oven, the pan is still hot, right? So I slide the parchment paper onto the counter so the cookies don't keep semi cooking on that hot pan.
These peanut butter blossom cookies were such a fun cookie to get my kids involved. They loves rolling them into balls, unwrapping the hershey kisses (tip #3 buy a big bag of kisses :) they'll sneak them all!) And then at the end their very favorite part was sinking that kiss down into the hot melty cookie.
Wait, ok, their favorite part is definitely EATING the cookie

Just letting you know there's mention of red food coloring in your recipe, seems to be a mistake. :)
These were my favorite cookies growing up. My sister and I had a baked goods stall at our local farmer's market and we made *a lot* of blossoms. They go so fast! We always preferred using the brach's chocolate stars instead of hershey's kisses. The look and shape of them just looks so much prettier to me. Also something about them being shorter and wider? They seem to give a better ratio of melty chocolate to cookie in each bite rather than the big lump of chocolate in the middle. *shrug* they'll all good.
