Thanks to delish.com, we have day three of our Valentine's Day ideas! And the awesome picture. These peanut butter cookies are so soft and chewy, with a touch of chocolate to top it off. Literally. This is a yummy treat both the kids and adults will love....
Ingredients
- 1/2 c. sugar
- 1/2 c. brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 c. (1 stick) unsalted butter or margarine
- 1/2 c. creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 c. flour
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 36 heart-shaped chocolate candies (Dove makes a yummy chocolate heart!)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat both sugars, butter, and peanut butter to blended. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Then beat in the flour and baking soda.
- Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons into the cups of an ungreased mini-muffin pan. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
- From from the oven; gently press a chocolate heart into each cup. Cool in pans on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes. Remove cookies from muffin cups with a butter knife. Serve warm or cool completely on wire racks.
