A holiday classic you\u2019ll make year after year \u2014 these are the softest<\/em> Peanut Butter Blossoms around! They\u2019re perfect for making ahead, passing out to neighbors, or enjoying straight off the tray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a reason Peanut Butter Blossoms are a holiday staple… They hit that perfect trifecta of soft\u2011chewy peanut butter cookie, crunchy sugar coating, and a sweet chocolate center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know this might be controversial, but I swear by shortening in this peanut butter blossom recipe. I\u2019ve tried it both ways and even done a blind taste test… and the cookies made with shortening always win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cookies turn out softer, chewier, and closer to the classic texture we all grew up with. Plus, they stay soft for days, making them great for baking ahead or packaging up to hand out to family and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t believe me, make both versions and do a taste test with your family. It\u2019s fun, and you\u2019ll find out which one you love most! <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
