The Best peanut butter blossoms cookie recipe
I have been making peanut butter blossoms for years and they are always a hit in my house. These cookies have that perfect combination of soft peanut butter dough and a chocolate kiss on top. My kids love helping me press the kisses into the warm cookies right when they come out of the oven. This recipe is a classic for holiday cookie exchanges but honestly I make them all year round because they are just that good. They are also a great way to get some protein from the peanut butter and they satisfy that sweet craving without being too heavy.
These cookies are simple to put together and the ingredients are things you probably already have in your pantry. The dough comes together quickly and then you just roll it into balls and bake. The hardest part is waiting for them to cool enough to add the chocolate kisses without them melting completely. I have tried many peanut butter cookie recipes over the years and this one is my go to because it stays soft and chewy for days.
Whether you are baking for a school event a family gathering or just a treat for yourself these peanut butter blossoms are sure to please. They are a crowd pleaser and they always disappear fast. I hope you enjoy making them as much as I do.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Peanut Butter Blossoms Cookie
1. Can I use natural peanut butter in this recipe?
It is best to use regular creamy peanut butter like Jif or Skippy. Natural peanut butter has more oil and can separate which may cause the cookies to spread too much and become greasy.
2. Why did my cookies spread too much?
If your cookies spread too much it could be because the butter was too soft or the dough was not chilled. Make sure your butter is softened but not melted and you can chill the dough balls for 15 minutes before baking if needed.
3. Can I freeze these cookies?
Yes you can freeze these cookies. You can freeze the unbaked dough balls on a baking sheet then transfer them to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen adding a minute or two to the baking time. You can also freeze the baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
4. How do I keep the chocolate kisses from melting?
Press the chocolate kisses into the cookies immediately after they come out of the oven while the cookies are still hot. Do not press them in too hard. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes so the kisses set slightly before moving them to a wire rack.
5. Can I use a different chocolate candy instead of kisses?
Yes you can use other chocolate candies like chocolate stars or even a chocolate square. Just make sure they are similar in size and press them into the cookies the same way. You can also use white chocolate or dark chocolate kisses for a different flavor.
