One of our favorite Christmas Cookies that we make EVERY single year are Peanut Butter Blossoms or Peanut Butter Chocolate Star Cookies. I think they have a few different names. I remember making these with my Mom when I was younger and now they are my boys favorite cookie too. They don’t necessarily have to be a Christmas Cookie but for some reason when I make my Christmas Baking List, they are always the first one I put down. The cookie trays just wouldn’t be the same without them!
This year I tried using my Truvia Brown Sugar Blend in them to cut back on some of the calories and I was very pleased with the way they came out! I love finding that I can use a new product in my traditional recipes! Check out the recipe below!
How to Make Peanut Butter Blossoms with Truvia
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Truvia Brown Sugar Blend
- 1 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1 Cup Butter
- 2 Eggs
- 3 Cups Flour
- 1 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- Chocolate Stars
- Extra Sugar for rolling
Instructions
Step 1 – Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Step 2 – Cream together the butter, peanut butter, Truvia Brown Sugar Blend and Sugar
Step 3 – In a separate bowl mix the flour, soda and powder together
Step 4 – Slowly add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture
Step 5 – Form 1 inch balls and roll int he extra sugar, place 1 inch apart on a greased cookie sheet (I use Silpat on mine)

These cookies freeze really well too, I like to make mine a few weeks before Christmas so that I have them ready to go.
