Healthy Peanut Butter Blossoms
Healthy Peanut Butter Blossoms are soft, nutty cookies made with peanut butter and sweetened with coconut sugar. Using flaxseed as an egg substitute makes them vegan-friendly. After baking, a chocolate chunk is pressed into each cookie, which hardens as it cools to provide a rich, melty contrast to the peanut butter base.
