Healthy Peanut Butter Blossoms
Description
This recipe features peanut butter cookies binding coconut sugar and a flaxseed egg or regular egg for structure and richness. Baking at 350°F for about 9–10 minutes yields cookies that are soft yet hold their shape well. The immediate placement of a chocolate chunk on each hot cookie allows the chocolate to set smoothly on top, adding a slightly firm, sweet layer that complements the salty-sweet peanut flavor.
The use of natural peanut butter and coconut sugar gives the cookies a wholesome profile. The recipe accommodates vegan diets by substituting eggs with flaxseed mixed with water. These cookies store well at room temperature for 3–4 days or longer when refrigerated or frozen, making them practical for batch baking.
Chocolate gelt can be used as an alternative topping for holiday variations, such as Hanukkah, enhancing the festive appeal without changing preparation.
