4-Ingredient Peanut Blossom Cookies

5 stars from 1 review

4-Ingredient Peanut Blossom Cookies are billowy and soft, chewy and peanut butter-y. As if that isn't enough it's then topped with a Kiss. They are incredible! I can't keep my hands off of them. Just stir scoop and bake. This simple recipe will be ready to go in the oven before it is done preheating!

Ingredients

1 cup honey roasted peanut butter
1 cup granulated sugar plus 1/4 cup extra
1 large egg
36 milk chocolate candy kisses unwrapped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (for easy clean up). Add 1/4 cup sugar to a medium (2-cup) bowl. Set aside.
Mix 1 cup sugar, peanut butter and egg in a medium bowl until well combined. Use an electric mixer, stand mixer or a wooden spoon.
Scoop cookie dough using a 1 tablespoon scooper, drop onto cookie sheet. Roll cookie balls and drop into sugar.
Once 4 cookie dough balls are in bowl, swirl it around until cookie balls are covered in sugar.
Place cookies on cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes (until barely golden brown around the edges). Meanwhile unwrap candy kisses. Set aside.
Remove from oven and place a candy kiss on top of each cookie ball, pressing down slightly. The cookies will crack a little around the edges.
Allow to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Cookies do not spread, so you can bake them pretty close together. If you are not using a cookie scoop, roll cookie dough into a 1" ball, then continue with recipe.
