These decadent peanut butter blossoms are every bit as wonderful as the peanut butter kiss cookies we grew up making for Christmas, but they're gluten-free and made without using chocolate that enslaves children.

Ingredients
Cookie Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- ¾ cup organic granulated sugar (or ⅔ c. honey)
- 1 large egg
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- 1.5 ounces fairly-traded dark chocolate
For the Chocolate Centers
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°
- Chop chocolate into small pieces, about ½" square.
- Mix all cookie ingredients thoroughly.
- Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls and place on ungreased (or parchment-lined) cookie sheet. Do not flatten.
- Bake for 7 minutes, or until just barely turning golden brown.
- Remove from oven, then gently press a piece of chocolate into the center of each cookie - just enough to flatten slightly and make those lovely cracks around the sides.
- Let cool, and enjoy! Store any cookies not eaten right away in an airtight container, to preserve softness.
