Peanut butter blossoms have been a staple holiday cookie for our family. For many years during our cookie baking, we would make traditional peanut butter cookie with chocolate kisses. As we began our health journey, we started trying cookie recipes with alternative ingredients. We finally found the perfect combination of guilt-free ingredients to make a peanut butter cookie that mimics the traditional cookie taste.
