Peanut Butter Hershey’s Kisses Cookies aka Peanut Butter Blossoms Tips

1. Most importantly, use regular creamy Skippy or JIF peanut butter. I love natural and freshly ground peanut butter, but they don’t have consistent results with this recipe. I have not tried reduced-fat peanut butter in this recipe but would not recommend it. The cookies need the regular ratio of fat to sugar to bake up properly.
2. You can easily double or triple this recipe to serve a crowd.
3. Unwrap Hershey’s Kisses before you start baking. You want the cookies to be hot when you press the kisses in, so it’s a good idea to have them ready to go.
4. This recipe is naturally gluten-free since it does not contain flour. Classic chocolate Hershey’s Kisses are considered gluten-free according to their nutrition information, but other varieties may vary.
