As much as we love a classic chocolate chip cookie or peanut butter cookies, I crave the sweet and salty combination of chocolate and peanut butter!
Family Favorite Cookie Recipe
My daughter’s favorite part is adding the chocolate kiss to the cookie, but I think that’s only so she can sneak extra chocolate kisses! If you have kids, this is a great recipe to make with them, as there are plenty of things they can help with from scooping the dough and rolling it into balls to pressing the kiss into the baked cookie!
How to Make Peanut Butter Blossoms
Here’s a quick overview of this peanut butter blossoms recipe.
Do I have to Chill the Dough?
Not necessarily, but the softer and warmer the dough is, the more the cookies might spread. Chilling the dough for 30 minutes will yield a thicker cookie. During the chill time, preheat the oven, prep the baking sheet and unwrap the kisses. Shortening can eliminate the need for chilling the dough but making peanut butter blossoms without shortening is just as easy, and has a rich, buttery taste.
Storing Peanut Butter Blossoms
They will stay pretty soft and tasty for 5-7 days, in an airtight container on the counter. How to Store: If you’re having trouble storing the cookies without messing up the kisses, you’ll want to alternate them. Place cookies in a single layer first, side by side. Start your second layer by placing cookies in between the tips of the kisses. Continue this process until all your cookies are stored.
How to Freeze Peanut Butter Blossoms
Freeze the dough before baking: Roll the dough into balls (don’t roll in sugar). Freeze the dough balls individually. Once frozen, place in a freezer bag and seal. To Bake from Frozen: Place the frozen dough in the refrigerator overnight. Roll in the sugar and proceed as directed! This upcoming holiday season, be sure to add these peanut butter blossoms to your baking list!
