WOWButter Cookies with Hershey Kisses | Recipe #PeanutFree

The cookie most commonly known as "Peanut Butter Blossoms" have always been one of my favorite cookies. Since having my daughter who has a severe peanut allergy, I have not made these cookies in years (about 5 years). This past year I came across the amazing (in my opinion) soy butter called WOWButter and now substitute peanut butter with WOWButter in my grandmother's recipe and they are soooo good! Honestly, people who love peanut butter and didn't realize soy butter was used instead of peanut butter, can't tell the difference. Now my whole family can enjoy this long-time loved cookie and it's safe for our daughter!

Ingredients:

1 3/4 Cups Flour

1/2 Cup Sugar

1/2 Cup Brown Sugar

1/2 Cup Shortening

1 tsp. Salt

1 tsp. Baking Soda

1 tsp Vanilla

1 Egg

1/2 Cup WOWButter (or peanut butter for non peanut allergies)

Bag of Hershey milk chocolate kisses

Homemade Peanut Free Soy Butter Cups Recipe

As you may know, my daughter has a severe peanut allergy. I wanted to find an easy and yummy recipe to make our own soy butter cups, but have always been intimated by the idea of making them on my own. I recently came across a recipe from The Best Blog Recipes and thought we'd give her recipe a try! We of course used WOWButter, as we are huge fans, and it is completely peanut free. I'm happy to say that our soy butter cups came out delicious and didn't last long; we'll be making more soon! You can of course use peanut butter for non-peanut allergies.

Ingredients:

30 1-inch Paper Candy Liners
1/3 Cup Wowbutter (or peanut butter for non-peanut allergies)
3/4 Cup Powdered Sugar
1/8 tsp Sea Salt
1 Tbl Butter
1 and 2/3 cup Hershey's milk chocolate chips
1 Tbl coconut oil (or vegetable shortening if you don't have coconut oil)

Directions:
Mix chocolate chips and coconut oil in a medium sized microwave safe bowl and microwave uncovered for 1 minute. STIR. If need be, microwave an additional 10- to 15-seconds (in intervals), stirring just until melted.

In a separate bowl combine WOWButter (or Peanut Butter), powdered sugar, butter and sea salt. Mix thoroughly until there are no lumps. Place paper candy liners on a baking tray. Spoon about 1/2- 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into each paper cup-- make sure to cover the sides of the cup about half way up the paper liner! Roll Wowbutter/peanut butter into small balls. Flatten them a bit and then place them on top of the melted chocolate in your paper cups. Top each with an additional 1/2- 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate. Place your cups in the fridge and refrigerate for 20 minutes, or until they are firm. To store, keep them in a covered container in your refrigerator. They also freeze nicely as well!
