Looking for something simple to make this Valentine’s Day? Well if you know someone who loves peanut butter cookies, this is about as easy as it gets.
Ingredients
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup peanut butter {I used creamy JIF}
1 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda {15 Cool Uses for Baking Soda}
1 teaspoon baking powder
additional granulated sugar {for rolling cookies in}
2 bags of heart shaped chocolate candy
Directions
In large bowl, combined the 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, butter and eggs until nice and smooth.
Mix in the flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, and drop 1 inch cookie balls on to a plate of granulated sugar and roll until covered with sugar.
Place cookies on a lined cookie sheet {I use silpats} and bake at 375 for 8 – 10 minutes. Carefully remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press 1 unwrapped chocolate heart into center of each cookie.
Cool, then transfer to a cookie platter or store in an airtight container.

I’m going to have to try with Reese’s butI’ve been using Dove Dark Chocolates. My family loves these and the kids have made them twice (with supervision.) I can’t let my Mom know her PB cookie recipe has been replaced.
