This is my spin on the traditional peanut butter blossoms recipe. I love those cookies and wanted to enhance them. From the reviews from my family and close friends, I have succeeded. Three amazing flavors... peanut butter, semi-sweet chocolate, and white chocolate. That spells "YUM" in our book!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

You won't believe how much flavor these double chocolate peanut butter cookies pack. Didi has added her twist to peanut butter blossoms. The cookie has bits of nuts from the crunchy peanut butter. When hot, chocolate chips are placed on top of the cookie so they melt a little bit. A sweet and creamy white chocolate buttercream is piped over the chocolate chips. When you take a bite, the hidden chocolate is a welcoming surprise. Easy to make, these aren't your average peanut butter cookies.
