Recipe of the Month: Peanut butter kiss cookies

Holiday baking is in full swing, and we’re so excited about these perfect peanut butter kiss cookies! They’re perfectly chewy with just the right amount of chocolate from a Hershey’s kiss on the top.

All About Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies

Ingredients You’ll Need

Dry Ingredients 

All-purpose flour Baking powderKosher salt 

Wet Ingredients

Unsalted butter softenedLight brown sugarVanilla extractAll-natural drippy peanut butterEgg Milk

Toppings

Granulated sugarHershey’s Kisses Drizzled white chocolate almond bark

a few tips

Drippy peanut butter vs. non-drippy: If you use peanut butter that is similar to the original Skippy or Jiff, then start with 1 cup of peanut butter and go up from there. You will likely need less peanut butter than if you are using drippy peanut butter.  Option to make dough ahead of time, and freeze for later. Use whatever variety of Hershey’s kisses you prefer! These cookies would be amazing with peppermint, dark chocolate or white chocolate kisses. Don’t skip the milk: The milk is added to hydrate the flour so that the cookies don’t fall apart after baking.  Choose your favorite Hershey’s kiss: Feel free to use dark chocolate, milk chocolate, mint chocolate kisses or whatever variety you prefer! Skip the sugar rolling if you’d like: Rolling the cookie dough ball in granulated sugar is a traditional step when making a peanut butter blossom, feel free to skip it if you don’t want added sugar.
