Steps:
- Position oven racks to the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
- Beat the peanut butter, granulated and brown sugars and salt in a large bowl, with an electric mixer, on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and egg.
- Put some granulated sugar in a small bowl. Roll tablespoons of the dough into balls and coat each in sugar. Evenly space them on the prepared baking sheets. Press each ball down with a fork, making a crisscross pattern, to flatten.
- Bake until the bottoms are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
CLASSIC PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOM COOKIES
Christmas just isn't Christmas without these-they're the most wonderful cookie of the year! Time and time again, Betty Crocker™ fans tell us these are their most-made cookies, and it's no wonder why. Tender peanut butter cookies, made from scratch in a recipe that comes together quickly, are the base that sets the standard. Once they're out of the oven, Hershey's Kisses are immediately pressed into the warm cookies so that the dough cradles the candy and holds it in place. Once they're cooled and ready to eat, they're the perfect combination of silky chocolate and tender, sweet-salty peanut butter cookie-and you'd better believe they'll disappear fast!
