Easy Peanut Butter Blossoms

These peanut butter blossoms are actually just peanut butter cookies with a Hershey's kiss in the center. It's the perfect combination to win over a crowd.

This particular recipe was adapted from my soft peanut butter cookies recipe, with a few notable differences.

Recipe Notes for Making Peanut Butter Blossoms

Here are a few recipe notes to consider when you are making these cookies:

  • It's important to use softened butter, not melted. This helps ensure your cookie is soft and melts in your mouth.
  • I like to squash these peanut butter cookies down a bit with the palm of my hand so that they cook evenly since you won't be using fork tines.
  • Store the cookies in an air-tight container keep them soft and fresh.
  • When making these peanut butter blossoms, I like to roll the cookie dough balls in sugar before cooking. This step can be ommitted if you prefer.
