Peanut Butter Blossoms: Soft and Chewy Cookies in 25 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
2. In a mixer bowl, beat the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, light brown sugar, and 1/3 cup granulated sugar on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until pale and fluffy.
3. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until just combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt.
5. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until a dough forms.
6. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls (approximately 1 tablespoon each). Roll each ball in the additional 1/3 cup granulated sugar until evenly coated.
7. Place the balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
8. Immediately after removing from the oven, press one milk chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
