You will love these Hershey Kiss Cookies
Peanut butter blossom cookies are exactly what you make when you need to bring cookies to a holiday party, or drop treats off on your neighbors porch. My love for these peanut butter kiss cookies is huge. First, I love that they only require 4 ingredients! Yes, these cookies are gluten free, but I didn’t intend for them to be this way. I made the peanut butter cookie gluten free because it really allows for the flavors to stand out more. We don’t need flour, baking soda or baking powder getting in the way of peanut butter. The simplicity of this cookie is everything. I also love that this recipe only makes 1 dozen cookies. Because sometimes, in my house, the bag of Hershey’s kisses gets opened, and a few are eaten before I can bake. Now, I only need to hide 12 kisses in the freezer to make these cookies, and we’re free to eat the rest of the bag.
Blossom Cookies ingredients
Yes, these cookies are flourless, and they really only require 4 ingredients. Since we’re just using the egg white, here’s a list of recipes to use leftover egg yolks. I also love that because this recipe is so simple, you can stir everything together in a small bowl. No need to use a hand mixer, either!
peanut butter (I don’t recommend using a ’natural’ one that requires lots of stirring) granulated sugar egg white Hershey kisses!
Peanut Butter Blossom variations
If you’re out of chocolate kisses, go ahead and press a piece of any dark chocolate in the center of the cookie when it comes out of the oven. You will still love it! You can also skip the chocolate piece and use Nutella instead! Check my recipe for Peanut Butter Nutella Cookies that was adapted from this recipe–it’s just as simple, I promise!
How to make Peanut Butter Cookies with Kisses
How to store Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies
These peanut butter blossoms keep at room temperature for up to 5 days. The moisture in the peanut butter helps them stay moist. Be sure to store them in an air-tight container. I don’t recommend storing them in the fridge because the chocolate kiss on top can become cloudy. Keep them in a cool place in an air-tight container to stay moist. *It’s best to use a regular brand of peanut butter for this recipe. You can get away with some natural brands, but you want to avoid the brands of peanut butter that require a lot of stirring to incorporate the oil. Just pick up a jar of Jif and call it a day.
