Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies (A “Magic” Holiday Classic!)
An incredibly simple, 3-ingredient, flourless peanut butter cookie recipe. The dough is made from just peanut butter, sugar, and an egg. It’s rolled into balls, baked, and then a milk chocolate kiss is pressed into the center of each warm cookie, creating the classic ‘peanut butter blossom’ look.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 18 milk chocolate candy kisses, unwrapped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare ungreased cookie sheets.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir the sugar, peanut butter, and egg together until well combined.
- Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. (If the dough is too sticky, refrigerate it for about 30 minutes until it is easy to handle).
- Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, until the edges are set.
- Remove the cookies from the oven. Immediately press one chocolate kiss into the center of each warm cookie.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- This is a naturally gluten-free cookie, as it contains no flour.
- The dough may be sticky. The article suggests chilling it for 30 minutes if it’s too difficult to handle.
- It is essential to press the chocolate kiss into the cookie immediately after it comes out of the oven, while the cookie is still hot and soft.
