These gluten free peanut butter blossoms are soft, gooey and tasty! They feature a soft baked peanut butter cookie with a melty Hershey's kiss in the middle. These classic Christmas cookies are great for the holidays, birthdays and more!
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar, tightly packed
- ½ cup all natural creamy peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 1 ½ cups gluten free 1 to 1 flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- sugar, to coat cookies
- 14 Hershey's kisses
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add room temperature butter, sugar, brown sugar and peanut butter. Mix on high until no clumps of butter remain, about 2 minutes.
- Add in the egg. Mix to combine.
- Then, add in gluten free flour and baking powder. Mix to combine.
- Roll out balls of dough about 1.5 inches in diameter. Add granulated sugar to a small shallow bowl.
- Roll each ball of dough until fully coated in sugar. Place on pan.
- Bake cookies for 11 to 12 minutes or until edges are set and middles look slightly gooey.
- Once cookies come out of the oven, place a Hershey's kiss in the middle of each cookie.
- Finally, allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes before carefully moving to a cooling rack.
Notes
- I highly recommend using all natural creamy peanut butter. Brands with added oils and sugars will dry out these cookies.
- Use room temperature butter. I like to take the stick of butter out of my fridge about an hour before baking.
- Use gluten free 1 to 1 flour. I do not recommend almond flour, coconut flour or another flour.
- The cookie dough will be very slightly sticky. Use a spoon to help form the balls of dough.
- Bake until cookies have set edges. You want them to be a little gooey in the center.
- Any type of Hershey's kisses work! Feel free to use a Reese's peanut butter cup instead.
- Store cookies covered at room temperature for up to 4 days.
