Chocolate Peanut Butter Blossoms
Peanut Butter cookies made with chocolate peanut butter and topped with a chocolate kiss.
Ingredients
- ½ cup granulated sugar (100g)
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup chocolate peanut butter
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1¾ cups all purpose flour (210g)
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1 cup salted dry roasted peanuts, finely chopped
- 30 Hershey's chocolate kisses, unwrapped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- In a mixer or food processor, cream together the butter and sugars, just until no streaks of butter remain. Add the peanut butter, and process until combined.
- Next, add in the egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt, and then add them to the rest of the mixture. Blend until just combined.
- Roll the dough into one inch balls (25 grams each) and roll each one into the chopped nuts, covering the cookies in nuts.
- Place each dough ball on a parchment lined baking sheet, placed two inches apart. You'll need at least three sheets.
- Bake one sheet at a time for 10 minutes each, until the cookies are golden.
- As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, place a chocolate kiss in the center of each cookie. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for two minutes, and then move them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
