Peanut Butter
What can I substitute for peanut butter in the Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies?
We have peanut allergies in our Family – but I love these cookies with the Hershey’s kiss in the center for the Holidays. Is there anything I can substitute for the peanut butter in order to make these cookies?
Try using Sunbutter. Is it a peanut butter substitute made out of sunflower butter and is safe for most people with peanut allergies as long as they do not have allergies to sunflower seeds. It is really good, and a very similar substitute to peanut butter. I have made traditional peanut butter cookies with it before, and they turned out great.
You can typically find it at Trader Joe’s (they have a private label brand that is rumored to be produced by the Sunbutter company) or Target (under the Sunbutter brand, sold in the peanut butter section), and in many nicer grocery stores. Whole Foods usually carries it, also. Some grocery stores may only carry it in their Natural/organic section, though Sunbutter produces several varieties of the product.
