How to Make Gluten Free Peanut Butter Blossoms

Start with the essentials

There’s not much needed for these delicious cookies, but a delicious peanut butter is essential. And it helps to have these tools handy:

Wooden spoon – makes stirring the dough so much easier

Cookie scoop – this is my trusty companion

Parchment paper – makes removing cookies from the pan so easy

Cookie sheets – I love this brand for baking!

Wire racks – this style is great for cooling

Plump little balls

After portioning these little balls of yumminess out, resist the urge to roll them into a perfect ball. Just a quick roll and then a toss in the sugar should do it. This way the cookies stay nice and thick and with just the right amount of cracking on the edges.

Give them all a ‘kiss’

Immediately after the cookies come out of the oven, lightly press an unwrapped Hershey kiss into the center of each one. Just a slight press should do it – not too much that it melts the chocolate.

Let them cool

Once the Hershey kiss is in place, remove the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Although I’ll admit that I didn’t wait long to take that first bite!
