Wait, what? No flour? I’ve made these several times for my husband and he loves them. I make a double batch just to have some left over when the last batch comes out. I cream the sugar and eggs together first and then add the peanut butter and mix until the batter thickens up. But that’s just me….

I have been making these for years. All three of my kids love them. I have found that if you are using organic or all natural peanut butters the cookies do not set the same. The best one to use is Creamy JIF. Only cook the cookies until the tops look dry and slightly cracked. If the edges are brown you have cooked them to long. Usually this is 8 minutes. I double the recipe, use a standard cookie scoop and us Reese’s miniatures in the centers. This also means double the cooking time too. Larger cookies seem to keep the cookie monsters out of the kitchen. Save the rest for another day.

so good

Thé original recipe was far too wet and sticky to roll a ball- I added a couple tablespoons of white flour which made a big difference. Also followed others advice and used half white and half brown sugar. I used half chunky and haLF smooth PB cause I like a bit of crunch but either would work. Also added a 1/2 tsp of vanilla. Kisses definitely need to be chilled before pressing them into warm cookie otherwise it is just a puddle of chocolate. Overall easy, very quick, and kid approved!

All recipes has never failed me, but as the old saying go and it only takes one time and this was it! So disappointed and save your ingredients as this was a major fail! Wish I had thought to read the reviews before I attempted this recipe. In trash it went that alone speaks volume!

There are some missing steps that really would have helped. First this was way too sweet. Next time I’d cut the sugar down to at least 3/4 or maybe even 1/3 c. The dough was so sticky so I had to add extra 1/8-1/4 c flour. It was so soft that I chilled it in the fridge. The 350 in my oven is a bit high but that’s no fault of the recipe. The bottoms were getting done way to fast so I had to turn it down to 325. I also chilled the Hershey Kisses so they did not completely melt. Simple recipe but need some tweaks to make it better!

Made these exactly as per recipe. Baked on parchment paper on top of a baking stone. Sooo delicious!!! I hope they last for two days, it’s our Christmas party.
Christopher Evans

Amazing! Pretty sure my mother made these same cookies before ages ago. This was the exact recipe I was searching for. I didn’t realize it was just peanut butter, sugar and egg. I used half brown and half white and put little Hershey squares in them, not kisses. I expected an oogie mess but got perfectly round plump slightly browned cookies, soft enough to plant the square of chocolate. Very rich and a bit too sweet but YUM.

I was dubious, but the recipe totally works. I took some tips from other reviewers. Froze the Kisses and used half brown and half white sugar. I used a runny PB, still good. I always put cookie dough in the fridge for 30 minutes (at least). I ate one while it was warm…oh dear. I instantly wanted to eat the rest of the cookies. So darn yummy. They’re delicious cool too. THANK YOU!!
Katherine Davis

Christopher Powell

Timothy Chapman
I’ve made these a few times and they are so easy and very delicious!
Amanda Carpenter
I have no idea how some people felt this recipe came out… yea sure add stuff a some reviewers suggest but it’s not in the recipe. This was horrible and I had to add everything possible to make it not just eating peanut butter mixed with sugar. Find a better peanut butter blossom recipe elsewhere.
Ryan Serrano
My cookies fell apart and were much too sweet. It figures. I thought the ease of the recipe was too good to be true.
Tonya Holt
delicious
Anthony Little
Greasy, easy to burn, no good
Francisco Carter
This recipe is amazing. 10/10. Would bake this again! I prefer to make these cookies over any others.

A really good recipe but here are a few things you should know. – DON’T make these if you have time to make the more complex peanut butter cookies. these don’t taste bad, but traditional peanut butter cookies are MUCH better. – Bake them for 15-20 minutes, not 10. – Add chocolate chips, they taste bland and plain otherwise. – if you make tablespoon-sized cookies, this recipe makes about 20 cookies NOT 9.
