Peanut Butter Blossoms

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, add in the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat with a hand mixer on medium until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Step 3

Add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Continue to beat on medium until the eggs are incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, add the baking soda, baking powder, salt, and flour. Whisk to combine.

Step 5

Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and beat on medium just until the flour is incorporated. The cookie dough will be slightly stiff.

Step 6

Using a 1 tablespoon or 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the cookie dough into your hand and roll into a ball.

Step 7

Place on the parchment paper. Leave an inch of space between the cookie dough balls.

Step 8

Place in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes until the edges are golden and the tops are set.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and immediately place a Hershey Kiss in the center of each cookie.

Step 10

Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes and place on a paper towel lined counter or wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Don't stack the cookies because the chocolate kisses will be very soft.
