Growing up, peanut butter blossoms were very popular. I have no doubt I'll like chocolate blossoms even more because the more chocolate, the better. Thanks for sharing, Jamie.
I would love to bite into one of these moist cookies right now. Thanks for bringing them to foodie friday. Pinned.
I believe all cookies should be turned into blossoms. These look wonderful. Thanks for sharing on Foodie Friday
