Feature: Red Velvet Blossom Cookies: Easy Kiss for Your Valentine

Image: The Cookie Elf

Red Velvet Blossom Cookies are a variation of the classic Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies, a traditional peanut butter cookie topped with a Hershey’s Kiss that has become a staple in American kitchens. Peanut Butter Blossoms were a favorite entry in the 1957 Pillsbury Bake-Off contest.

Although red, these are true chocolate cookies through and through. The chocolate cookie dough and the Hershey’s Kiss in the cookie center combine for a double dose of chocolate.

This is a gorgeous cookie to make and serve for Valentine’s Day and parties. And here’s a little secret: this cookie recipe is incredibly easy and quick to make!

Prep time: 10 minutes
Bake time: 8-10 minutes
Makes about 4 dozen cookies
