When I start thinking about the holidays and what cookies I want to make, these are some of the first ones that come to mind. I remember having them almost every year at family Christmas parties and I always would eat so many. So when as soon as it started to get cold here this year, I started thinking about these cookies and decided that I should share the recipe!
These are complete classics. Nothing out of the ordinary here. The only item I have to comment on is that you should try different toppings. Kisses and mini peanut butter cups are the traditional ones for me but they make so many different chocolate kiss flavors these days you could really try something different. Make sure to let me know if you find a fun new combo!
Peanut Butter Blossoms
The classic holiday party cookie, something everyone will enjoy!
Ingredients
- Dough
- 1 1/4 cup (150 grams) of All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) of Sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) of Brown Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 gram) of Salt
- 1/2 (2 grams) of Baking Soda
- 1 stick (112 grams) of Softened Unsalted Butter
- 1 Egg (50 grams)
- 1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
- 24 chocolate kiss candies or mini peanut butter cups
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) of Sugar
Coating
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the flour, salt, and baking soda. Stir until combined. Set aside.
- In another bowl, cream the butter with a stand mixer or electric mixer with a paddle attachment for about 1 minute. Add in brown sugar and sugar and cream for another 2 minutes or so.
- Add in the egg and mix until combined. Then add peanut butter and vanilla and mix until smooth.
- Add in flour mixture and mix on low until combined. Cover and let cool for 1 hour and up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Place your chocolate kisses or peanut butter cups in the fridge as well.
- When you are ready to make some cookies, preheat your oven to 350F.
- Prep your pans by either spraying them with cooking spray or using parchment paper or silicone mats. In a small bowl, add in the 100 grams of sugar for coating.
- Scoop about a tablespoon of dough and form into a ball. Roll it in the sugar and then place on the baking sheet. Press them slightly into the sheet and then repeat for the rest.
- Place in the oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes or until they start to crack. Remove from the oven and let sit for a minute. Then place the chilled kisses or peanut butter cups on top. Let them cool on a cooling rack.
- Once they are cooled, they will stay fresh for up to a week at room temperature as long as they are covered.
