How To Make Peanut Butter Kisses
This peanut butter kisses recipe works as a quick sweet fix. You can make this sweet treat with the kids and then enjoy the fruits of your labor together!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup smooth peanut butter, (avoid using chunky)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ tsp baking powder
- 20 Hershey’s Kisses
- ¼ cup sanding sugars, each for coating, preferably 3 colors (green, red, and orange)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 360 degrees F and grease a baking sheet with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.
-
In a small bowl, sift together flour and baking powder. Set aside.
-
In a mixing bowl attached to a hand beater, cream together the sugar, peanut butter, and butter for roughly 8 to 10 minutes until fluffy and light.
-
Add in the egg and vanilla extract and continue creaming.
-
Fold in the sifted flour mixture into the butter mixture until evenly incorporated. Set aside.
-
Prepare a coating station with your sanding sugar of choice, 1 color per bowl, and your kisses candies ready.
-
Roll your cookie dough into 2-inch balls, roughly 1½ oz. Coat this in 1 of your sanding sugars, then place these onto your baking sheet.
-
Repeat until you have consumed all your cookie dough, alternating between various colors of sanding sugars.
-
Transfer to your oven and bake for roughly 7 to 9 minutes until lightly browned at the bottom and puffed. Note that your cookies are still raw at this point.
-
Working quickly to avoid your cookie hardening and becoming inedible, press roughly 1 to 3 chocolate blossoms at the top of the cookies. You should see it slightly crack and that is alright.
-
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until fully baked.
-
Set aside onto cooling racks and allow to cool completely before enjoying your Peanut Butter Kisses!
