A favorite during the holiday season, peanut butter blossoms are as easy as they are delicious. The soft, chewy cookies surrounding a perfectly sweet chocolate kiss add a beautiful festive touch to your holiday cookie platters or your next cookie exchange! I know they’re a classic Christmas cookie, but I actually bake peanut butter blossoms all year round! I can’t resist making them whenever the mood strikes. Peanut butter blossoms (also called peanut butter kiss cookies) are a delightful, creative, visually striking combination of peanut butter and chocolate that is hard to resist.
There’s nothing fussy about my peanut butter blossom recipe: You’ll start by baking soft, sweet, and salty peanut butter cookies. Then, when they’re hot out of the oven, press a chocolate kiss into their center. It’s really that simple! Add these chewy cookies to your dessert spread to share with your family (or don’t — no judgment here!). And if you’re in the mood for more festive Christmas cookies, then check out my Andes mint cookie recipe, Grinch cookies recipe, and snowflake cookies recipe.
Peanut butter — use a creamy no-stir peanut butter, not a peanut butter that will separate. Most natural peanut butter, unfortunately, won’t work in this recipe. If you love peanut butter then make sure to check out my buckeye ball recipe!
