These peanut butter cookies are a delight for all of the senses, with the aroma of peanuts wafting off the plate. The density of these cookies is unmatched, and a whisper of sweetness compliments a decadent peanut butter flavor.

Similar to the almond peanut butter blossoms, but with a creamier center, these dark chocolate peanut butter blossoms deliver a delicious rendition of this classic flavor combination.

The almond in this peanut butter blossom provides a satisfying crunch, especially if you can manage to bite into both the kiss and the outer peanut butter ring at the same time. Complimentary flavors and varied textures make this version a big win.
