Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Peanut Butter Blossoms
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, packed light brown sugar, and creamy peanut butter until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add one large egg and a teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Scoop out about a tablespoon of dough, roll it into a ball about one inch in diameter, and roll each ball in granulated sugar. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until puffed and the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and immediately press a Milk Chocolate Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie.
  6. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
