Beautiful Egg Blossoms Recipes

EASIEST EVER PB COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
• With an electric mixer, beat together the peanut butter, brown sugar and egg until well combined. Stir in the chocolate chips with a wooden spoon.
• Lightly wet your hands and form the mixture into 12 balls. Place the balls about 1 inch apart on the baking sheet. Lightly wet the tines of a fork and press a criss-cross pattern into the top of each cookie. Lightly sprinkle them with flaky sea salt.
• Bake until just starting to brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then remove to a rack to cool completely before eating.

GELT PEANUT BUTTER BLOSSOMS

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl until combined.
• Add the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the peanut butter and continue beating until fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the vanilla and egg and beat until combined. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray. Put the blue and white nonpareils in a medium bowl.
• Scoop the dough using a 3/4-ounce scoop (about 1 1/2 tablespoons) and roll the dough into a ball. Continue scooping and rolling until you've used up about half the dough. Roll each ball in the sprinkles and place on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Chill the remaining dough while the first batch bakes.
• Bake, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until the cookies are puffed and lightly golden, about 12 minutes. Immediately press a chocolate gelt into the center of each cookie. Let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. When the baking sheet is cool, spray again with nonstick spray and repeat with the remaining dough, sprinkles and chocolate gelt.
