Classic Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies

Christmas just isn’t Christmas without these—they’re the most wonderful cookie of the year! Time and time again, Betty Crocker™ fans tell us these are their most-made cookies, and it’s no wonder why. Tender peanut butter cookies, made from scratch in a recipe that comes together quickly, are the base that sets the standard. Once they’re out of the oven, Hershey's Kisses are immediately pressed into the warm cookies so that the dough cradles the candy and holds it in place. Once they’re cooled and ready to eat, they’re the perfect combination of silky chocolate and tender, sweet-salty peanut butter cookie—and you’d better believe they’ll disappear fast!
