Equipment

  • Mixing bowl For blending the dough
  • Hand or stand mixer For creaming butter and sugar
  • Measuring cups & spoons For precise measurements
  • baking sheet Lined with parchment paper for even baking
  • Wire cooling rack To cool cookies completely

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter (Jif or Skippy recommended)
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • extra sugar for rolling
  • 30 Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until smooth and fluffy.
  • Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract, and mix again until fully combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until blended — do not overmix.
  • Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and coat each ball in sugar. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes, just until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  • Press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie immediately after baking. Let cool 5–10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Classic peanut butter blossoms that bake up soft and chewy every time. Perfect for cookie swaps, gifting, or sneaking straight from the cooling rack.
