Ingredients for a Spooky Twist

This recipe is not only easy to make but requires just a few simple ingredients, most of which you might already have at home. For the cookie dough, you’ll need your basic peanut butter blossom ingredients, but for a fun Halloween twist, you’ll add food coloring and purple sugar sprinkles. Of course, no blossom cookie is complete without the classic milk chocolate Hershey’s Kiss in the center!

Making the Cookie Dough

Start by mixing up your peanut butter blossom cookie dough, following your favorite recipe or a simple store-bought version. Once your dough is ready, it’s time to give it a Halloween makeover! Add some purple gel food coloring to the dough, making sure it’s evenly distributed. The food coloring will give the cookies a fun, spooky vibe, perfect for Halloween.

Rolling the Dough and Adding Sprinkles

After you’ve colored the dough, it’s time to form the cookies. Roll the dough into small balls, roughly the size of a tablespoon. To make the cookies festive, roll each dough ball in purple sugar sprinkles until it’s fully coated. The sprinkles not only add color but also give the cookies a sweet, sugary crunch that pairs perfectly with the soft peanut butter flavor.

Baking the Cookies

Once your dough balls are coated in sprinkles, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the cookies according to the recipe’s instructions—typically about 8 to 10 minutes at 350°F (175°C). The cookies should be lightly golden on the edges but still soft in the middle.

Adding the Hershey’s Kiss

Now comes the signature step for blossom cookies! As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, quickly press a milk chocolate Hershey’s Kiss into the center of each cookie. The warm cookies will cause the chocolate to slightly melt and adhere to the cookie, creating that classic blossom look. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to set, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Perfect for Halloween Festivities

Halloween Blossom Cookies are a festive and fun addition to any Halloween gathering. Their spooky purple color and the rich chocolate center make them an eye-catching treat for parties or movie nights. Since the recipe is so simple, it’s also a great opportunity to get the kids involved. They’ll love rolling the dough, coating it with sprinkles, and pressing the Hershey’s Kisses into the warm cookies.

Get Creative with Variations

If you want to put your own spin on these cookies, feel free to get creative! You can swap out the purple sprinkles for other Halloween-themed colors like orange or green. You can also try using different types of Hershey’s Kisses, such as the cookies ‘n’ creme variety, to change up the flavor. For an extra spooky touch, add candy eyeballs or drizzle some melted chocolate over the top for a cobweb effect.

Enjoying Your Halloween Treats

These Halloween Blossom Cookies are sure to be a crowd-pleaser, whether you’re serving them at a party or enjoying them at home. The combination of the chewy peanut butter cookie, sugary sprinkles, and smooth chocolate Kiss makes for an irresistible treat that everyone will love. Best of all, they’re easy enough to make that you can whip them up in no time, even on a busy Halloween afternoon.

So, gather your ingredients, grab the kids, and get ready to bake up a batch of these fun, festive, and delicious Halloween Blossom Cookies. They’re sure to become a new holiday tradition!
