In reply to Ginny. Thanks for sharing the tip Ginny! I did this the last time I baked the cookies and they were perfect! That two minutes (but no more or the tips of the kisses will burn) really made the kiss adhere to the cookie.

I have made these cookies for years and the “original” 1957 recipe has you bake them for about 8 minutes, and then press a chocolate kiss into the cookie *****the most important part is to then immediately return the cookie to bake another 2 minutes with the just placed kiss on the cookie. This is the original way to bake these. No recipes say to do this and I don’t get it. This adheres the kiss to the cookie AND also causes the kiss to always have a softening effect. Why is this not in the recipes anymore??? The kiss on the cookie always stays softer after this simple correct original recipe. This is why my cookies turn out so well as this is how they were done in 1957!

These turned out AMAZINGLY well! Though I couldn’t master the glimmer of the granulated sugar that is depicted above, I will say that these were quickly lapped up by every member of my family. I’m a bake-a-holic and these were right up my alley. Coincidentally, I made them on National Peanut Butter Day! Great Recipe 🙂

Mumm, I have to make a dessert tomorrow for a luncheon at work on Friday. I had something totally different in mind, but I’m going to make these. And I’m going to try your mom ‘s trick 🙂

Lauren is correct. Bake for 8 min, put on the Hershey Kisses and put them back in the oven for another full 2 minutes. Now take them out…

In reply to Lauren. Ah, I had no idea. What a great idea.

Di – Mommy used to pop them back in the oven for a minute or two until the kiss softened a bit. It makes the texture similar to chocolate chips in cookies. I find it easier to eat otherwise the kiss is too hard. 🙂

These look delicious! Can’t go wrong with a classic peanut butter blossom 🙂
