I love peanut butter. I love it with chocolate, I love it with banana, I even love it with bacon. I normally have a huge container of PB on hand, but apparently I'd gotten down to the bottom of it and only had PB scraps left in the jar. I didn't realize this until after I'd started getting ready to bake these. Rookie mistake, i know i know. Luckily I had a few nutella samples laying around, which added up to almost the amount of nutty butter I needed! Lucky for me, but unlucky for my cousin Laura who is severely allergic to hazelnuts and whom I tried to feed these to. These cookies are super yummy. Mine spread out a bit, I could've put the dough in the fridge to harden up, but this was my third batch of cookies and I was pooped.
Peanut Butter Blossoms (
original recipe here)
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup lard
3/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup nutella
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
2 tsps vanilla
3 1/2 cups flour
2 tsps baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup white sugar (for rolling)
1/2 bag of mini Hershey kisses
- Cream butters and sugar. Then add in wet ingredients a little at a time until smooth.
- Add in dry ingredients until just combined. Don't over mix.
- Roll into 3/4 inch balls, then roll in white sugar. If the dough is a bit too soft, throw in the fridge for a bit.
- Bake in 375 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
- When the cookies come out, press a chocolate kiss in the middle of each one.
