Chocolate Peanut Butter Blossoms

This take on our classic Peanut Butter Blossoms is perfect for any chocolate lover. They’re perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and topped with a delicious dollop of chocolate.

Ingredients

For the chocolate peanut butter cookies, you’ll need 10 simple ingredients:

• vegetable shortening
• creamy no-stir peanut butter
• granulated sugar
• packed light brown sugar
• non-dairy milk
• pure vanilla extract
• all-purpose flour
• cocoa powder
• baking soda
• salt

For the chocolate dollops, you’ll need:

• vegan chocolate chips
• refined coconut oil

How to make

You’ll start by making a delicious chocolate peanut butter cookie dough, then rolling out balls of dough and coating in extra sugar. Once you’ve baked the cookies, you’ll press little divots in them using the bottom of a 1 teaspoon measuring spoon.

While they cool, you’ll make a melty chocolate. You’ll place a dollop of the chocolate into each cookie, creating a Hershey’s Kiss-like topping. Once the chocolate has set, these cookies are ready to eat and are absolute perfection.
