Classic Peanut Butter Blossoms

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Peanut Butter Blossoms.

1. Step 1

   To create delicious peanut butter cookies, start by grabbing a mixing bowl and combining creamy peanut butter, half a cup of white sugar, unsalted butter, and brown sugar.

2. Step 2

   Use a mixer to beat these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

3. Step 3

   Next, add in an egg and a splash of vanilla extract, continuing to beat until everything is fully incorporated and you can almost smell the sweetness.

4. Step 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

5. Step 5

   Gradually mix this dry blend into your peanut butter mixture, stirring gently until just combined—be careful not to overmix! Now, cover your dough and pop it in the refrigerator for at least an hour; this will help it firm up and make rolling easier.

6. Step 6

   While the dough chills, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s ready for baking.

7. Step 7

   Once your dough is nice and chilled, take it out and roll it into 1-inch balls.

8. Step 8

   For a sweet touch, roll each ball in the remaining third of a cup of white sugar to give them a lovely sugary coating.

9. Step 9

   Place these sugar-coated balls on baking sheets, making sure to leave about 2 inches of space between each one.

10. Step 10

    Bake them in your preheated oven for around 10 minutes, or until you see delightful cracks forming on the surface.

11. Step 11

    As soon as they come out of the oven, gently press a milk chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie, giving it a little push to secure it in place.

12. Step 12

    Finally, let your cookies cool on a wire rack, and get ready to enjoy the irresistible combination of peanut butter and chocolate in every bite!.
