The elementary school that two of my sons attend is hosting a teacher appreciation lunch on Friday this week. I, of course, signed up to bring cookies, because I love to find any excuse to bake!
Yesterday I shared the Coconut Macaroons I made and today I’m sharing what is seriously the very best Peanut Butter Blossom recipe out there.

FAQs
I normally don’t chill the dough but if your home is warm and you find your dough is very soft, popping it in the fridge for 30 minutes will ensure the cookie doesn’t spread too much.
The cookies are done when the edges turn golden brown and the tops are just starting to crack.
Store in an airtight container up to 7 days.
I don’t recommend freezing the finished cookies but you can definitely freeze the dough to bake later. I recommend rolling the dough into the balls and freezing up to 3 months, then thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before rolling in sugar and baking.
