The Very Best Peanut Butter Blossoms Cookies
These Peanut Blossoms Cookies have double the peanut butter of the original and are rolled in sugar and topped with a Hershey Kiss for the perfect bite!
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup margarine
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- additional granulated sugar for rolling
- 30 unwrapped Hershey Kisses
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 and line two baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar for 3-4 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until well combined.
- Add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop the dough in to about 1 inch balls, roll the balls gently in your hands, toss them in the additional granulated sugar, and place them on a baking sheet at least an inch apart. (I get about 15 on each sheet.)
- Bake at 350 for 13-14 minutes
- Remove from oven and immediately gently press a Hershey kiss in the middle of each cookie.
- Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack, being careful not to touch the kisses. (They get melty soft, but will keep their shape if you don’t touch them.)
- Once completely cool, store in an airtight container.
