All About Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies

Ingredients You’ll Need

Dry Ingredients 

• All-purpose flour 
• Baking powder
• Kosher salt 

Wet Ingredients

• Unsalted butter softened
• Light brown sugar
• Vanilla extract
• All-natural drippy peanut butter
• Egg 
• Milk

Toppings

• Granulated sugar
• Hershey’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. 

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.
