Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups peanut butter
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 36 pieces chocolate kisses
- 0.25 cups extra granulated sugar (for rolling dough)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until creamy and smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and milk to the butter mixture. Beat until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Scoop out 1-inch portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the extra granulated sugar until fully coated.
Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
While the cookies bake, unwrap the chocolate kisses and set aside.
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. The edges may crack slightly, which is normal.
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 your homemade peanut blossom cookies!
