Servings: 25 cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup salted butter softened at room temperature
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 whole large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 25 heart shaped chocolates
- turbinado sugar optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degree F and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugars until light and creamy. About 2-4 minutes.
- Add in the peanut butter, vanilla extract and egg. Mix until combined. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again.
- Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined and a dough has formed.
- Use a regular cookie scoop (equivalent to 2 tablespoons of dough) to form cookie dough balls. Roll in turbinado sugar (optional, to get a sparkly coating). Place on prepared cookie sheet 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or just until the edges turn a light golden brown. Immediately place a chocolate heart on the center of each cookie and gently press down a bit. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack. Enjoy!
