Tips for the Perfect Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies
- Unwrap the Chocolate Kisses while the cookies are baking so they’re ready to press onto the warm cookies!
- Roll the dough balls in sugar for a little extra sweetness!
- Don’t over bake – take them out while the edges are golden for soft, chewy cookies! My batch baked for about 12 minutes! Time may vary depending on your oven!
- Press the Chocolate Kiss gently into the center – the cookies will crack slightly but adds to its classic look.
- Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
