Description

Classic Christmas Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies are soft and chewy treats featuring a perfect blend of creamy peanut butter and sugars, baked to golden perfection and topped with iconic chocolate kiss candies. These timeless cookies offer a nostalgic holiday flavor that delights cookie lovers every season.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda

Topping

  • Chocolate kiss candies (one per cookie)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for even baking.
  2. Cream fats and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat them together until the mixture is light, fluffy, and thoroughly blended.
  3. Add egg and dry ingredients: Beat in the large egg until fully incorporated. Then gradually mix in the all-purpose flour and baking soda until the dough comes together and is smooth.
  4. Shape cookie dough balls: Roll the dough into small, evenly sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter, to ensure uniform baking.
  5. Bake the cookies: Place the dough balls spaced apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
  6. Add chocolate kisses: Immediately after removing the cookies from the oven, gently press one chocolate kiss candy into the center of each warm cookie. The heat will slightly melt the chocolate and secure it in place.
  7. Cool and serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve once cooled or store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Do not overbake; cookies should be soft in the center when removed from the oven.
  • Using room temperature butter and peanut butter helps achieve a smoother cream during mixing.
  • Press chocolate kisses in while cookies are hot to ensure they stick properly.
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • For a festive twist, try using flavored chocolate kisses such as peppermint during the holidays.
