Step-by-Step Instructions for Peanut Butter Blossom Cookie
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and sea salt until combined.
  3. Blend softened unsalted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
  4. Add creamy peanut butter, egg, milk, and vanilla to the butter mixture; mix on low speed until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  6. Form dough into 1-inch balls and roll in granulated sugar before placing them on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake the cookies for 8 minutes, watching for fine cracks on their tops.
  8. Press a Hershey's Kiss into the center of each cookie immediately after baking; let cool for a few minutes.
  9. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before enjoying.
