Cookie Butter Blossom Cookies

Peanut Butter Blossoms are one of my favorite cookies. If you have never had a peanut butter blossom, it’s a peanut butter cookie with a Hershey kiss on top. A favorite at family gatherings and birthday parties! I was getting ready to make a batch, but in the back of my pantry, I came across an unopen jar of cookie butter. I thought to myself… I wonder how these cookies would taste if I altered this recipe using cookie butter rather than peanut butter? Now, it’s hard to beat peanut butter, but I decided why not? Let’s try something different! Let me tell you what, WOW! This cookie has notes of Carmel from the brown sugar, cinnamon, and of course the Hershey kiss on top. What a flavor combination! I hope you enjoy and as always, please let me know your thoughts.
