Peanut Butter Blossoms

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Total Time: 28 minutes
Yield: 24 cookies

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup Original Peanut Butter Meltaway® Spread
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 24 Milk Chocolate Blossoms
  • Additional granulated sugar, for rolling
  • All-purpose flour, for adjusting dough texture as needed

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375° F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, use electric mixer to cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes. Add egg, Original Peanut Butter Meltaway® Spread, milk, and vanilla extract and mix again, about 1 minute.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix on low speed until fully incorporated, about 2 minutes. Add more flour a tablespoon at a time if the dough feels too sticky or soft.
  4. Use a cookie scoop to form 1 inch dough balls and roll in granulated sugar to coat. Place dough balls 2 inches apart on a lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
  6. Allow to rest on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before pressing one Milk Chocolate Blossom into the center of each cookie. Move to wire rack to finish cooling.
