Deluxe Cookie Butter Blossoms
These Deluxe Cookie Butter Blossoms are made with cookie butter, rolled in turbinado sugar and topped giant hazelnut filled chocolates. Oh yeah... you're going to need to make these!
Topped with a giant kiss, these Deluxe Cookie Butter Blossoms are the perfect twist on a classic blossom cookie.
Inspiration
The inspiration for these cookie butter blossoms came from the Hershey's Kisses Deluxe Chocolates Gift Box. Several Christmas' ago, I saw them while shopping and couldn't stop thinking about it!
These deluxe Hershey kisses are three times the size of a traditional chocolate kiss and are filled with whole hazelnuts. Epic if you ask me... and I knew I had to use them.
What a better way to utilize a chocolate kiss than in a blossom cookie!
More Blossoms
These Deluxe Cookie Butter Blossoms aren't the first of this style of cookie I've made.
There's a blossom cookie for everyone!
Recipe
For this recipe, I used my peanut butter blossom cookie recipe and adapted it for these cookies.
The dough of the cookie is essentially the same replacing the peanut butter for cookie butter and rolling in dark brown coarse sugar rather than granulated white sugar.
The cookies themselves are also larger to accommodate for the size of the chocolate kiss which means more cookie to enjoy! YES!
The recipe for the dough of this cookie would be a great alternative for a person with nut allergies.
They could still enjoy a blossom cookie without the nuts by simple using cookie butter and a nut-free chocolate on top!
No more having to skip out on these holiday cookies anymore!
Happy Baking!

WHAAAA??! filled with whole hazelnuts! I have got to get my hands on those-esp. because um yeah cookie butter blossoms? SOUND AMAZING!
Finally got the chocolate kisses and ready to make these. But the recipe directions makes note of adding milk but nothing about milk in the ingredients. I'll wait to hear from you before I try these cause they look, as usual with your recipes, awesome!! Thanks for all you do!!
Ha! It's because I copied the instructions from a previous recipe (cause I'm lazy lol) and forgot to omit the milk from the instrutions. It's all fixed now. Thanks for catching that for me!
Thanks for the great tips!! I had to make cookies for my job (cookie exchange) and these are going to be a hit! Thank you !! 10/10 STARS my son has a peanut allergy and this is a great replacement for peanut butter! GENIUS!
Love hearing this great feedback, Myna! Thank you so much. <3 Happy Holidays! -Betsy
