Blossom Cookies the Betty Crocker Way
Prep: 6 minutes Bake: 10 Minutes Unwrap kisses: variable
Blossoms are some of my favorite cookies. I realize that they have various names but blossom is the one I’ve used. I love the peanut butter and chocolate mix and the small simple way about them. I made a version before but it came out weird. This one is the best version I’ve ever done and so here you go.
Ingredients
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed down tight to get the right amount)
1/2 cup peanut butter (make it creamy you monster)
1/2 cup softened butter
1 egg
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
Bag of Hershey Kisses (or some weirdo off brand if you must, but why would you?)
Prep
Preheat your oven to 375 F
Add the sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, butter, and the egg in a bowl
Use a hand mixer to mix this well mixed. It’ll be almost creamy
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix until it’s an obvious dough. It’ll be pretty soft
Line a baking tray and roll small (like half inch) balls of dough and place on the tray
Bake about 8-10 minutes each
While baking take a small bowl and start unwrapping enough kisses as you’re baking. Add them to the bowl so they’ll be ready
When the cookies come out, wait a beat to pretend they’re cooking then press one kiss per cookie directly in the center
Move to a rack to cool
Afterthoughts
This was the best version I have ever made. They are still nice and soft days later and taste amazing. The cookies had the perfect crinkle after shoving the kiss in them and the kisses didn’t melt their lives away. The smaller cookies made a great size contrast to the rest. This is fast, easy and fantastic. I highly recommend it for any gathering or stocking of sweets in your kitchen.
