Easy Gluten Free Peanut Butter Blossoms (Dairy Free Option Too!)

I always love making this classic gluten free peanut butter blossoms cookie recipe for the holidays! The chewy peanut butter cookie is rolled in sugar before baking and topped with a chocolate kiss for that perfect nostalgic bite you remember. I have even made them dairy free thanks to some tasty kiss alternative candies that I found. So now, nobody has to miss out!

Notes

I love to freeze them and pull just one or two out when I want them. They only take 15 minutes or so to thaw at room temperature. Then you can enjoy the cutest Christmas cookies in minutes.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days if the whole family hasn't eaten them before then. Make sure to cool them entirely before putting them in a container.

This cookie recipe can easily be made dairy-free. We used No Whey chocolate smooches. You would just need to use dairy-free butter as well. Earth Balance sticks are great for cookies.
