Cookie Butter Blossoms
Have you ever heard of Peanut Blossoms cookies (aka Kiss Cookies)? They are super popular around the holidays, and you can’t hardly go to a Christmas party without seeing some. They are my favorite, but unfortunately my son has is highly allergic to nuts, so they are a no-go for us. That’s why I came up with this alternative – Cookie Butter Blossoms!
Servings: 36 cookies
Calories: 105kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cup sifted flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter or margarine
- ¾ cup cookie butter
- ½ cup sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 dozen milk chocolate candy kisses
Instructions
- Sift together flour, soda and salt and set aside. Cream together butters. Gradually add sugars. Add egg and vanilla. Blend in dry ingredients.
- Form into balls using a teaspoon of dough for each. Roll in granulated sugar and place on ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake at 350° for 8 minutes. Place a chocolate kiss on top of each cookie until it cracks around the edges.
- Bake 2-5 minutes more until golden brown.
Notes
Much like with peanut butter, you can find both crunchy and smooth versions of cookie butter.
