‘Tis the season to do some holiday baking. Blind Piglet #1 and Rhonda are getting started on our annual holiday goodie baskets today. One of our favorite additions to our goodie basket is the delicious Peanut Butter Blossom Cookie. This cookie is a wonderful combination of a peanut butter cookie with a Hershey’s Kiss plopped in the middle. This year we decided to add a little extra something to our Peanut Butter Blossoms and Blind Pig them up a bit. Surprise!
Boozy Peanut Butter Blossoms are so easy to make and are always a fan favorite anytime of the year. We made ours with a basic family recipe that we got from Grandma Ruth. To make these golden, buttery delights you will need flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, butter, egg, salt, baking soda, dark rum and chocolate kisses. The addition of dark rum to this recipe increases the buttery richness of this cookie and pairs nicely with the peanut butter.
After mixing the dough, you will need to roll the dough into little balls. Make sure to use the trick we shared with you in our post for Golden Mint Crinkles. Spray your hands with some cooking spray before you roll the dough. It makes for an easier time working the dough and creates a smoother texture that cooks evenly.

Boozy Peanut Blossoms are the perfect addition to a holiday goodie basket or packaged as a stocking stuffer. Because Boozy Peanut Blossoms taste yummier with a glass of milk, rumor has it that this is one of Santa’s favorites! A word of warning: These did not last long at our house. Make sure you save some for Santa.
