Peanut Butter Blossom Bars
Peanut butter blossom bars are everyone's favorite holiday cookie, in bar form! These chewy peanut butter cookie bars are studded with hershey kisses that melt into the bars for the perfect kiss cookie. Slice into bars and serve!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cups creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons sugar, for sprinkling
- 20 hershey kisses
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
- Beat the butter and peanut butter in the bowl of an electric mixer until creamy and combined.
- Add the sugars and beat on medium speed until fluffy, for 5 full minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating until each is combined. Add in the vanilla extract. Beat in the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Press the cookie dough into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle all over with the 2 tablespoons of sugar. Bake for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, remove the dish and press the hershey kisses into the bars, doing four in a row, leaving about an inch between each. Make sure you press it far enough into the dough so it can melt a bit and be secure once the bars cool. Return the bars to the oven and bake for another 2 to 4 minutes.
- Remove and let cool completely. Slice into bars and serve.
