Baking with a Twist
Baking is an adventure, and with these peanut butter blossoms, you can easily experiment with different flavors and textures. Try adding a sprinkle of sea salt or a dash of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile.

Ingredients Used to Make 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Blossoms
Alright, baking newbies and lazy chefs, here's your ridiculously simple shopping list:
For the Cookies:
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, your choice!)
- 1 cup sugar (because every cookie needs some sweetness)
- 1 large egg (the binder that brings it all together)
For the Topping (optional):
- About 20 chocolate kisses (the iconic top for each cookie)
How to Make 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Blossoms
Ready to become a cookie wizard? Here's the magic spell:
Mix the Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, sugar, and egg. Stir until everything is well mixed and the dough is smooth.
Shape and Bake:
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get around 20 cookies, depending on how big you make them.
- Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to space them out a bit—they’ll spread slightly as they bake.
- Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. The cookies will look slightly underdone, but that’s okay—they’ll firm up as they cool.
Add the Chocolate Kiss:
- As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, gently press a chocolate kiss into the center of each one.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
There you go! 3 ingredient peanut butter blossoms that are so easy, you might just become your family's designated cookie dealer. Whether you call them peanut butter kiss cookies or 3 ingredient peanut butter blossom cookies, one thing's for sure – they're damn delicious!
