This recipe makes about 38 cookies depending on the size of the cookies. Peanut butter blossoms can be ready in 25 minutes, however I preferred to chill the dough for minimum 1 hour. So, the total time in this recipe did not include chilling time.
With Hershey’s chocolate kisses sitting on top of each cookie, these melt in your mouth Peanut butter blossoms are excellent!

Funny story. The last time I ate Hersey kisses was in high school when my boyfriend broke up with me. I almost ate a whole bag in one sitting and my best friend had to do in intervention! This post brought back memories!

Hershey’s kisses always remind me of my great-grandmother. She’d hide one behind her back, give us a kiss then pass us the sweet. She’d have loved these cookies!
