Peanut Butter Sweetheart Cookies

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • about 30 chocolate hearts, I used the peanut butter filled ones

Instructions

  1. Place the un-wrapped peanut butter cups in the freezer to make them easier to handle. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Mix together the flour, salt and baking soda; set aside.
  2. Cream together the butter, sugar, peanut butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla and milk.
  3. Gradually the flour mixture; mix until just combined. Scoop dough into 1 1/2 inch sized portions and roll into balls and then coat in sugar, place on cookie sheet 2-3 inches apart.
  4. Bake at 375 degrees for about 9 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately press a chocolate into each. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.*

Notes

*I like to put the hot cookies into the freezer for a few minutes so the cookie doesn't melt the chocolate too much. Otherwise it can take quite a long time for the chocolate to solidfy again and the cookies won't stack easily. Recipe adapted from: AllRecipes
