There is a reason that these Peanut Butter Blossom Hershey Kiss Cookies are one of the most requested cookies in every household for the holiday season - they are pillowy soft peanut butter cookies with a chocolate kiss on top that are cookie perfection!
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugars together on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg, beating well. Add the peanut butter and vanilla, mix until combined.
Slowly beat in the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
Place the ½ cup white sugar onto a small plate.
Roll the dough into one-inch balls, then roll in the white sugar, coating completely. Place on the prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart.
Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and set.
Remove from the oven. Press a chocolate candy of choice into the center of each cookie.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets completely, then
Store in a lidded container in layers, with parchment or waxed paper between each layer at room temperature for up to 5 days. Freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
You can replace the chocolate kisses with any type of kiss that goes with peanut butter!
