Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
- 48 Hershey’s Kiss candies (unwrapped)
Instructions
Stage 1: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Stage 2: Add the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stage 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until well combined.
Stage 4: Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the additional granulated sugar and place on a baking sheet lined with a non-stick mat. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Stage 5: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but still soft in the center. Avoid over-baking!
Stage 6: Once the cookies are cool enough to handle, press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Stage 7: Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh and enjoy their irresistible flavor!
These Peanut Blossoms are a crowd-pleaser and perfect for any cookie lover. Happy baking!
