Helpful Tips
- 1. For that truly irresistible soft and chewy texture, be sure not to overbake! The cookies might look slightly underdone when you pull them from the oven, but they’ll continue to set beautifully as they cool on the baking sheet. A little gooey in the middle is perfect.
- 2. If your kitchen is a bit warm or your dough feels too sticky to roll easily, pop it into the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes. This chilling time helps firm up the butter, making the dough much more manageable and preventing the cookies from spreading too much.
- 3. Get creative with your chocolate! While Hershey’s Kisses are traditional, consider using mini Reese’s peanut butter cups for an extra layer of peanut butter goodness, Rolo candies for a delicious caramel surprise, or even white chocolate or dark chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.
- 4. Add a touch of spice for a holiday twist! A pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or even a tiny amount of pumpkin pie spice added to the dry ingredients can elevate these Peanut Butter Blossoms Christmas cookies to a new level of festive flavor.
- 5. Room temperature butter is key for a light and fluffy dough. If your butter is too cold, it won’t cream properly with the sugars, resulting in a denser cookie. If it’s too warm (melted), your cookies might spread excessively.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus more for rolling
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
