4 Ingredient Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies – Tips!
We played around with the recipe quite a bit (as in we’ve had a lot of cookies lately!) Add chocolate chips to the batter or use different types of chocolate toppers for different effects.
The amount of sugar used is a matter of taste. I did a few batches with 3/4 cup of sugar instead of a full cup and still loved them. 🙂
If there’s an allergy to peanut butter in your house, then use any unsweetened nut butter. We used sunflower seed butter.
Ultimately, this was our favorite. It received kudos for the presentation. (I do believe this version looks a bit like a witch’s hat!) And, the layer of chocolate on top of the soft cookie was irresistible!

Just made these for a cookie exchange. So easy! I whipped seven dozen up in about two hours. And the kids loved helping with this one because it was so uncomplicated. They loved the taste too!
Jan
Great recipe. Use it all year long with the different types of kisses that come out. Favortie is the swirl with white chocolate.

Can you add baking powder or baking soda to the 3 ingredients to make them thicker?
Thank you
Marjory
Hi! I do not know how those ingredients would react in this recipe. The batter should be very thick. I hope that helps!
Kelly
Hello! Would this be able to be in the fridge or freezer and brought out to room temp and still bake fine?
Marjory
Yes! You should be able to do this!

I have made these many times and they disappear quickly! Kids love making them so it was a fun project with my nieces and nephews. They are very rich, so I make them smaller than my other cookies. They can be messy, so I use a miniature muffin pan and the small paper cup liners. It keeps the crumb trail off the floor and makes storage easier, especially if you are taking them with you for a party or get together. There are so many choices for a variety of versions so kids never get tired of them. And really, what DOESN’T go with peanut butter!
Marjory
Thanks for your feedback. LOVE the tip for the mini muffin tin!

Hi there, thanks for the recipe! I was wondering whether I can still replicate a version of this with just regular unsalted butter and/or flour? Thanks!

Hi there! It sounds like you’re looking for a more traditional peanut butter cookie. If so, check out https://www.dinner-mom.com/sunflower-seed-butter-cookies-chocolate-chips/ Leave out the chocolate chips in this recipe and instead top with a Hershey’s kiss!
