Happy Valentines Time! You need to sweeten your day with these YUMMY cookies. Full of Peanut Butter goodness and rolled in red sugar then topped with a chocolate heart...I mean what's not to love?!
I am certain your Valentine will give you extra kisses for these!
There is a trick to getting these cookies to stay fluffy. To often they turn out flat and boring and sad. I must say...it's happened to me. I get into a rush and disregard that these cookies need gentle mixing and just until combined. Be careful not to over mix and you will get a beautiful cookie that is fluffy!
Peanut Butter Chocolate Heart Cookies
A perfect Valentine Cookie!
Ingredients
- heart shaped chocolate candies
- ½ cup shortening I used Crisco
- ¾ cup Peanut Butter
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup or so of sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Beat shortening and peanut butter in large bowl until well blended. Add ⅓ cup granulated sugar and brown sugar; beat until combined. Add egg, milk and vanilla; mix until combined. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; mix this until just combined, making sure not to overmix. Shape dough into 1 ½-inch balls. Roll in sugar and place on prepared cookie sheet. Bake 7-8 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove candy wrappers while baking. Immediately press a chocolate into center of each cookie; cookie will crack around edges. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely
