4 Ingredient Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies

If you’re looking for the absolute, hands down, EASIEST cookies on earth – look no further.

We’re using FOUR – yes, just four – ingredients to make delicious, simple, peanut buttery, melt in your mouth cookies… and topping them with a Hershey’s Kiss.

We hope you love these cookies as much as we do!

At Ajpal, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe. My goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.

Tips To Perfect Easy Cookies

These cookies are so simple there are only a couple tips to help you get perfect results every time.

Fully preheat oven before baking for best results.
Don’t overmix dough for best results.
Use a clean, ungreased, nonstick baking sheet. If using parchment paper, the cookie will be puffier, instead of soft and chewy.

One of the most frequent questions we get is about substitutions – and what people can substitute in a recipe.

Since this recipe is super simple, it’s really important to understand what each ingredient does for the cookie before substituting.

Peanut butter is the base of our cookie– it adds moisture, richness, and the peanut flavor.
Sugar sweetens our cookies and gives them structure.
Egg binds the cookie together.
Hershey kisses make these peanut butter blossoms, rather than regular peanut butter cookies!

Recipe FAQs

Peanut butter cookies can be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to five days.

We like both ways – if you add the kiss before baking, it will slightly melt and be hot and gooey. If you add it at the very end of baking when the cookie is still hot, it will melt a little and warm up without losing its shape.
