Peanut Butter Blossoms, Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies, and Peanut Butter Thumbprints are all one and the same. An easy and delicious soft peanut butter cookie with a large chocolate morsel center. Makes a great Christmas cookie to share with family and friends!
I have been wanting to re-create these classic Peanut Butter Blossoms with my super popular Thick & Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies recipe for a while now. I’m so glad I finally got around to it! The combination of the soft peanut butter cookie, and the huge chocolate morsel center, makes it a super delicious item for your holiday neighbor plates!
If you’re like me, you love Christmas, but you love Christmas even more when there are cookie parties involved. Where else can you go, bringing one kind of cookie and come home with a dozen or more different ones? My point exactly!

Peanut Butter Blossoms
Ingredients
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar, gently packed
- ½ cup (132 g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 ½ cups (180 g) + 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour, (stir, spoon, & level)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 30 + Hershey Kisses
Instructions
- Cream the butter and sugars together in the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment.
- Add the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla. Mix well and scrape the bowl.
- Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the butter mixture all at once and mix until just incorporated.
- CHILL dough for 2 hours in fridge or 45 minutes in the freezer. (This keeps the dough thick and puffy / helps it not spread too fast while baking.)
- Scoop dough and shape into balls, about 1 rounded Tablespoon each. Place 2-inches apart on silicone lined baking sheets.
- Bake at 350˚F for 8 to 9 minutes. Remove from oven. Immediately place a single Hershey Kiss in the center of each cookie while still warm. Rest for 1 minute, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Store cookies in an airtight container up to 5 days.
