Ingredients
list of 10 items
½ cup granulated sugar, plus extra for coating
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, softened
1 egg
½ cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon baking soda
24 Hershey’s kisses (or more or less, depending on how many cookies you make)

Instructions
list of 5 items
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease two baking sheets or line with parchment or silicone mats.
2. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together granulated sugar, brown sugar and butter. Add egg, peanut butter and vanilla extract. Beat
well.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk (or sift) together flour, salt and baking soda. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture; mix just until combined.
Optional, but recommended: cover and chill dough for up to 30 minutes for really thick, chewy cookies.
4. Place about ½ cup of additional granulated sugar in a shallow bowl. Using a cookie scoop (about 1 ½ tablespoons), roll dough into balls and coat in
sugar. Place about 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets.
5. Bake in the 375 degree F oven for 9-10 minutes, or until the tops begin to crack a little bit. The cookies will still be soft. Remove the baking sheets
from the oven and place on wire racks to cool. Let the cookies cool for 2-3 minutes, then place a chocolate kiss in the center of each cookie, pressing
down slightly. Cool on the baking sheets for about 3-5 more minutes, and then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Recipe Notes
• Chewy Peanut Butter Blossoms: pull the cookies out of the oven when they still look soft (and slightly under-baked in the center). They will firm up
as they cool, but will remain nice and chewy on the inside.
• While it’s not mandatory when you’re in a rush, I find that chilling the dough for about 30 minutes yields the thickest, chewiest peanut butter cookies.
• Use a processed peanut butter (like Jif) rather than all-natural peanut butter. The processed nut butters do not separate, which yields a better quality
cookie.
