I recently made these Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Kiss cookies. My daughter had a birthday at school, and she mentioned that some of the teachers and students were gluten-free.
Another name for these cookies is Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies. These cookies require only a few ingredients, and the combination of peanut butter and chocolate is truly amazing.
I was going to use regular Hershey’s kisses, but the store was out of them and they had dark kisses or hugs. I opted to go with the hugs because I love White Chocolate.
Tips for Making Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies
The trick to making these cookies is getting the kiss into the cookie without it melting, although some were still pretty even after that melted and also not letting the cookie cool too much before putting them in or they will break. You may need to try a few to get the timing down, but basically, I waited for about 3 – 4 minutes, put the kisses in and then put the tray in the refrigerator.
These cookies need to dry completely before you take them off the tray or they will crumble. I had no trouble with mine and they all came out great except a few that the kiss melted half way, but it still looked good.
