I love peanut butter blossom cookies for Christmas. So I decided to try Amanda Rose’s easy nut butter cookies from Instagram.

Bake up some holiday magic with these Easy 3-Ingredient Nut Butter Blossom Cookies! Perfect for Christmas, this quick and simple recipe creates soft, nutty cookies topped with a chocolate kiss for a festive and irresistible treat.

In this recipe, you’ll learn:
•How to make delicious cookies with just 3 ingredients
•Simple tips for baking the perfect blossoms
•How to customize these cookies for your holiday celebrations

They’re just 3 ingredients, egg free, gluten free, peanut free, and dairy free (if you omit the Hershey’s kisses or substitute with dairy free Christmas chocolates like I make for my Vegan & Gluten Free Peanut Butter Blossoms

They are a more traditional peanut butter blossom texture.

I also have a Sugar free Gluten free peanut butter blossom recipe too that is a huge crowd favorite for Christmas!

These are more dense and nutty, like super nutty and I love the texture! They remind me of this almond butter I used to get at an Amish market in Pennsylvania and I’ve never found that texture anywhere else than in these delicious nut butter cookies!

I used mostly target products for these Christmas cookies because they’re cheaper and easy access to me.

You can use any nut butter for this but just keep in mind the viscosity of your peanut butter. This nut butter is fairly thin so I needed more almond flour than if you use one that is thicker.

I used this maple syrup but any brand will do, just make sure it’s pure maple syrup.

Mix these 3 nut butter cookie ingredients together and that’s it! You’ll know if you need more almond flour based off of if the cookie dough sticks to your hands when you try and roll them.

The glass bowl and rose gold spoon are from Amazon, as will be the other links in this post.

Scoop your nut butter cookie dough on to a cookie sheet, leaving a little space between each Christmas cookies.

Then roll each cookie dough into a ball. Either use clean hands or disposable gloves, especially if you’re giving these gluten free nut butter blossom cookies away to friends and family for the holiday.

Give your gluten free Christmas cookies a little smoosh with a gold fork before baking.

While they’re baking, unwrap your kisses if you are using them. I just had them around anyways for the holidays and decided to add them to these nut butter cookies for extra Christmas fun. I’m going to make them again without though, the whole year round because I love the texture!

Don’t you just love these national lampoon’s Christmas vacation theme Christmas spatulas?! They make me laugh. These Christmas plates are from Amazon as a set and have gingerbread people too!

Be sure to watch my Nut butter blossom cookie video too! I made a fun gluten free Christmas cookie song to go with them! And also, such a win for these cookies to be peanut free and egg free too!
