PIN IT FOR LATER!

 Happy New Year, friends!

Has is seriously taken me nearly 2 years to put up a blossom cookie recipe on the blog?? Well, to make up for it, today I bring you these delicious Rolo Peanut Butter Blossoms. There. 😉

 Chocolate, caramel, and peanut butter come together beautifully in these cookies. Classic peanut butter blossoms may be made for the Christmas cookie tray, but I like to enjoy these all year round. These soft-baked peanut butter cookies with or without the Rolo are absolutely scrumptious! Instead of Rolos, you can use Hershey’s Kisses, or even mini peanut butter cups!

 Enjoy, and here’s to a wonderful, fun-filled 2017! 🙂
