INGREDIENTS
PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOM COOKIES:
4 oz (120 g or 1/2 cup) unsalted butter at room temperature
4 oz (120 g or 1/2 cup) smooth or chunky peanut butter
1/2 cup (100 g/3.5 oz) white granulated sugar
1/2 cup (100 g/3.5 oz) light brown sugar packed
1 large egg
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups (230 g/8 oz) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
50 Hershey’s Kisses or Reeses' cups, wrappers removed.
COATING:
1/2 cup additional white granulated sugar
INSTRUCTIONS
Cream together butter, peanut butter and sugars together with an electric mixer or hand mixer until pale and creamy. Add egg and vanilla; beat to combine well.
In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Add flour mixture in 1/2 cup increments, mixing well after each addition.
Roll 1.5 tablespoons of dough into a ball while checking the texture. If dough is too soft to work with, chill for up to one hour in the refrigerator. If not, continue with the recipe.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
Roll dough into 1.5-inch balls. Then, roll the cookie balls in the sugar. Arrange on prepared baking sheet with 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake until light brown in colour and puffed up (about 7-8 minutes).
Carefully remove baking sheets from the oven and lightly press a candy kiss into the centre of each cookie. Cookies will crack slightly.
Bake for an additional minute or two, until light golden brown. Remove from oven, let cool to room temperature.
Store in airtight containers for up to 7 days.
