About this Recipe
Also known as Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies, Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies are a holiday classic. This recipe comes together with peanut butter and a few simple baking pantry staples. Chef Annie prefers a natural, creamy peanut butter, as many are loaded with added sugar and can make the recipe too sweet. The result? A perfectly sweet, just-salty-enough balance. If you prefer crunchy or sweetened peanut butter, go for it!
