    Best Peanut Butter Blossoms on cooling rack

    The elementary school that two of my sons attend is hosting a teacher appreciation lunch on Friday this week. I, of course, signed up to bring cookies, because I love to find any excuse to bake!

    Yesterday I shared the Coconut Macaroons I made and today I'm sharing what is seriously the very best Peanut Butter Blossom recipe out there. This is one of my favorite recipes to make because you literally cannot mess it up if you follow the directions, it turns out perfectly every time and they are always a HUGE hit!

    Peanut Butter Blossoms on wire rack

    Ingredients

    • butter
    • granulated sugar
    • brown sugar
    • peanut butter
    • egg
    • milk
    • vanilla extract
    • all-purpose flour
    • baking soda
    • salt
    • Hershey’s Kisses

    Instructions

    1. Cream together butter and sugar.
    2. Add remaining ingredients other than Hershey Kisses.
    3. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on a baking sheet.
    4. Bake for 8 minutes (use this time to unwrap your Kisses!)
    5. Remove cookies from the oven and immediately press a Hershey Kiss into the middle of each cookie.

    FAQs

    Do I need to chill the dough?

    I normally don't chill the dough but if your home is warm and you find your dough is very soft, popping it in the fridge for 30 minutes will ensure the cookie doesn't spread too much.

    How do I know when they are done cooking?

    The cookies are done when the edges turn golden brown and the tops are just starting to crack.

    How long do these last?

    Store in an airtight container up to 7 days.

    Can you freeze these cookies?

    I don't recommend freezing the finished cookies but you can definitely freeze the dough to bake later. I recommend rolling the dough into the balls and freezing up to 3 months, then thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before rolling in sugar and baking.
