Ingredients

• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups peanut butter
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar
• 1 piece large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 36 pieces chocolate kisses
• 0.25 cups extra granulated sugar (for rolling dough)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until creamy and smooth (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 4

Add the egg, vanilla extract, and milk to the butter mixture. Beat until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Scoop out 1-inch portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the extra granulated sugar until fully coated.

Step 7

Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.

Step 9

While the cookies bake, unwrap the chocolate kisses and set aside.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press a chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. The edges may crack slightly, which is normal.

Step 11

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy your homemade peanut blossom cookies!
