Peanut Butter Blossoms image

This started as my mother's recipe, but I made adjustments over time to find the right peanut butter cookie base which is solid enough not to break but soft when you bite into them. These have been a family holiday favorite for many years, hope yours enjoys them too!

Time 4h25m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ cups peanut butter
1 cup shortening
⅔ cup white sugar
⅔ cup brown sugar
¼ cup milk
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup white sugar, or as needed
2 (12 ounce) bags milk chocolate candy kisses (such as Hershey's Kisses®), unwrapped

Steps:

  • Beat peanut butter, shortening, 2/3 cup white sugar, brown sugar, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until creamy and smooth.
  • Sift flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Gradually fold flour mixture into peanut butter mixture to form a smooth dough. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Pour 1/4 cup white sugar into a shallow bowl. Scoop dough into 1-inch balls, roll balls in sugar, and place 1 1/2 inches apart on baking sheets.
  • Bake cookies in the preheated oven for 6 minutes; rotate cookie sheets and continue baking for another 3 minutes. Press a chocolate kiss about halfway down in the center of each cookie. Bake for until chocolate begins to melt and lose form, another 2 to 3 minutes. Cool on wire racks until chocolate hardens, at least 3 hours.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies turned out flat and dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I've tried several different peanut butter blossom recipes, and this one is by far the best. The cookies are soft and chewy, and the chocolate coating is perfect.

I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter, but these cookies are amazing. The chocolate coating really balances out the peanut butter flavor.
