  • Servings 84

Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Additional granulated sugar (about 2 tablespoons)
  • About 7 dozen Hershey's® Kisses® Brand milk chocolates

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, beat 1 cup granulated sugar, the brown sugar, peanut butter, butter and eggs with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour, baking soda and baking powder.
  • 2
    Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in additional granulated sugar. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • 3
    Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are light brown. Immediately press 1 chocolate candy in center of each cookie. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.

  • Cookie dough can be covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. If it's too firm, let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Make things special! If you’re the host of an exchange, invest in some fun packaging for your beautiful baked goods. Browse the aisles of a craft supply place for small lidded boxes, tins, food-safe tissue, and fun ribbons or baker’s twine. Set up a wrapping station so guests can create gifts for family and friends, making the most of the variety of cookies at hand.
  • Cookie sheets should be at least 2 inches smaller than the inside of your oven to allow the heat to circulate around the cookie sheets.
  • Try a new twist on this classic cookie: stir in 1-1/3 cups melted and slightly cooled semisweet chocolate chips in with the sugar mixture. Roll the shaped dough in chocolate decorating decors for chocolate peanut butter blossoms!
