What are Peanut Butter Blossoms?

The peanut butter blossom is one of the most famous recipes ever entered into the Pillsbury bake-off contest! It was invented by Freda Strasel Smith in 1957 as an entry to the bake off contest. It was oringanally named Black-eyed Susans and then got renamed to the peanut butter blossom cookie by Pillsbury.

Whole wheat Peanut Butter Blossoms, just like the classic peanut butter blossom cookies loaded with peanut butter flavor, extra thick dough and soft and chewy insides! The peanut butter blossom cookie is popular among Christmas cookies and you probably won't even tell they're made with healthy whole wheat flour! They are easy to make, eye appealing, and a favorite ingredient of chocolate and peanut butter!
