Peanut Butter Blossoms Cookie Recipe – Hershey Kiss Classic!

Classic Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies are made with a sugar covered peanut butter dough topped with a Hershey Kiss. They're delicious AND easy to make!

One classic Christmas cookie that we see in almost every cookie exchange is Peanut Butter Blossoms. But, there is no reason that these cookies are just for Christmas! They're delicious any time of year!

I love these little Hershey Kiss Cookies because I feel like I'm getting two treats in one – both the cookie itself and then the whole Hershey Kiss that's sitting on top.

The dough I use for these cookies is the same that I use for my Peanut Butter and Jelly Thumbprint Cookies and also for the Peanut Butter Nutella Cookies. Sometimes I will make the dough and split it up and make half with the Hershey Kisses (my favorite) and half with the jelly (my husband's favorite).

Ingredients:

1/3 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
24 Hershey Kisses, unwrapped

How to Make Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies:

Place additional white sugar in a small bowl. Form balls using 1 Tablespoon of dough for each cookie. Roll the balls in the sugar and then place on cookie sheets about 2 inches apart.  Top each cookie with a Hershey Kiss and press down slightly.

Bake for appx 12 minutes or until puffed up and edges are just beginning to brown.  Let sit for 2 minutes and then move to cool completely on wire racks.
