1-Getting started with Peanut Butter Blossoms is straightforward and fun. Begin by heating your oven to 375°F as the first step to ensure even baking. This temperature helps the cookies achieve that golden edge without overcooking the center.

2-In a large bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, softened butter, and egg until the mixture is well blended. This creates a smooth base that holds everything together nicely. Once that’s done, stir in the flour, baking soda, and baking powder to form the dough.

3-Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and roll them in additional granulated sugar for a sweet, crunchy coating. Place the balls on ungreased cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. Bake one sheet at a time for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges turn light golden brown.

4-Right after removing the cookies from the oven, press one milk chocolate candy into the center of each. Let them cool on a wire rack until the chocolates set, which takes about 1 hour. This whole process takes roughly 60 minutes, including prep and baking, making it an ideal project for any day.
