Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
- 48 Hershey's Kisses, unwrapped
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the peanut butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Shape the dough into 1-inch balls using your hands. Roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat completely, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and immediately press a Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie, applying slight pressure.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve and enjoy these delicious Peanut Butter Blossoms!
