Peanut Butter Blossoms

Peanut butter blossoms have always been my go-to Christmas cookie. They are easy to make and delicious to eat. My kiddos call these the “healthy cookies” because they have peanut butter in them. 

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter 
• 1/2 cup softened butter
• 1 egg, room temperature 
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp gluten free baking powder
• Sprinkle of salt
• 2 cups gluten free flour
• 24 Hershey Kisses - I used the ones with almonds in the middle

Instructions: 

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 
2. In a large bowl, beat on medium speed the butter, sugar, brown sugar, egg, and peanut butter. 
3. Add the gluten free flour, baking soda, and baking powder until well combined. 
4. Use a cookie scoop or a teaspoon to roll dough into 1 inch balls. You could roll the dough balls into sprinkles or sugar before placing them on baking sheet. 
5. Place the cookie balls on parchment paper lined baking sheet. 
6. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. I usually check to make sure they are golden brown. 
7. Remove the cookie sheet from oven and immediately press one kiss in the center of each cookies. 
8. Make sure they have completely cooled and chocolate has hardened before removing from cookie sheet. 

These can be stored in an airtight container for up to 10 days.
