Now, add white sugar to a small bowl or plate. Next, make small cookie dough balls about one inch in size. Then, roll them in sugar and place on an ungreased baking sheet. If the dough seems to loose, place in the fridge for about 5 minutes. Work quickly so it does not warm from hand heat.

Make a small indentation with your thumb or measuring spoon. Bake for about 12-14 minutes or until light golden brown edges are present. The cookie will look slightly undone. Immediately after removing from oven place a kiss on the top of each cookie.

Allow the peanut butter blossom cookies to cool completely before transferring to a wire rack or plate. Store in an air-tight container for up to a week.  You can make the dough ahead of time and keep in the freezer. When ready to bake, remove from freezer, allow to thaw and bake.

    They are delicious! I just made them for a snowy cozy day with friends. Yes, they spread but the taste is outstanding. Also, I think the peanut butter cup idea sounds super good.

  2. Followed the recipe perfectly, including making sure baking soda was brand new. Spread out and now they look like a boob with a nipple when adding the kisses 🤦🏼‍♀️
