There's a timeless debate I have every Christmas Season with friends and family. What is a better cookie, Peanut Butter Cookies or Peanut Butter Blossoms? While some argue for the allure of the chocolate Hershey's kiss nestled in the center of Peanut Butter Blossoms, I stand firm in my belief that Peanut Butter Cookies are far superior!
Simplicity at Its Finest: One of the main appeals of Peanut Butter Cookies lies in their simplicity. With a rich and nutty flavor, these cookies capture the essence of peanut butter without any distractions. No need for fancy adornments – just pure peanutty bliss in every bite.
The Dilemma of the Kiss! Let's address the elephant in the room – the Hershey kiss directly in the middle of Peanut Butter Blossoms. While some may argue that it adds a touch of chocolatey goodness, it also introduces a huge dilemma. Do you bite around the kiss or attempt to eat the entire cookie in one go? The struggle is real, and if you find yourself biting into the middle of the kiss, well, you are a psycho.
Versatility: Peanut Butter Cookies are incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed in various forms. Whether you prefer them soft and chewy or crisp and crunchy, there's a Peanut Butter Cookie variation to suit every palate. Add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even a sprinkle of sea salt for an extra dimension of flavor.
Other Options: I will say this, the only reason I don't fuck with blossoms are because of the sole fact of how restricting the Hershey kiss is. There are other ways of doing it that could get me on board; you can substitute mini Reese's cup in the middle, that is a much easier bite to get a little bit of cookie and chocolate in a bite. Another option is using regular chocolate chips and making a Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookie.
