If you’re anything like me with your flavor references and LOVE chocolate and peanut butter, then you will definitely enjoy these peanut butter blossoms. They are a soft and chewy peanut butter cookie topped with a chocolate kiss and they scream holiday!!
These cookies have the best texture and perfect level of peanut butter. Not too much where they are hard to eat but definitely enough to give it that creamy peanut butter flavor!
If you’re coming from my 12 days of Christmas cookies series, welcome! I am sooo glad you’re here!! If you have no clue what I’m talking about, no worries. Basically, I have been doing a video series on my social media called 12 days of Christmas cookies leading up to Christmas and this is day 6!!
So far I’ve done Chocolate Peppermint Cookies , Triple Chip Cookies, Chewy Spice Cookies, Christmas M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies, Hot Cocoa Cookies and now these!! Wow this list is going to keep getting longer and longer, isn’t it? Haha
What you’ll need—
- butter
- peanut butter
- sugar
- brown sugar
- eggs
- vanilla extract
- flour
- cornstarch
- baking soda
- salt
- chocolate kisses (I used hersheys)
For this recipe, I use creamy peanut butter but you could even spice it up a bit and use crunchy peanut butter if that’s what you prefer! Either way would be sooo good.
Peanut Butter Blossoms

- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 3/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/3+1/3 cup sugar separated
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups flour

Instructions

- In a large bowl add your butter and peanut butter and mix until combined. Add your brown sugar and 1/3 cup of your white sugar and mix again until everything comes together.
