Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies
by JosephineClassic peanut butter blossoms made with creamy peanut butter and topped with a Hershey's chocolate kiss while still warm. A beginner-friendly cookie.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt the butter in the microwave for 30 seconds. In a large bowl, mix the peanut butter, melted butter, light brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract with a whisk until smooth. Add the flour and baking soda to the wet ingredients. Mix with a spatula or spoon until the cookie dough forms.
Scoop the dough into about 1.5 tablespoon portions and roll into a ball. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. Let the cookies cool to room temperature.
