Betty Crocker’s Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies
The first batch of holiday cookies have been baked and are now being devoured by the family. These Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies have a similar concept with the Hershey’s Kisses Blossom Sugar Cookies and Hazelnut Thumbprint Cookies. The chocolate or hazelnut treat in the middle. This year though I made the cookie base with peanut butter. Aaahhhhhh, is all I can say. This is so easy to make and trust me the kids will love them. You can make extra to give as gifts to family members and friends as well.
This recipe was adapted from Betty Crocker.
