When I think love, I think warm, happy fullness. And what’s warmer and makes you feel more loved or full than fresh baked cookies? So, while browsing websites one afternoon, Sonshine and I came across a recipe from Canary Girl for The Yummiest Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. I can never leave well enough alone, so, I’ve made an adaptation of her recipe and in honor of Valentine’s Day, we shaped this into the tastiest hearts you’ll ever munch on!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 C Butter
  • 1/4 C Sugar
  • 1/2 C Brown Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Chocolate Extract
  • 1/4 C Crunchy Peanut Butter
  • 1 C Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1 C Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Corn starch
  • 2 C Chocolate Chips

Directions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Cream together butter and sugars. (To feel better, I used grass fed butter and organic sugars, but use whatever you’d like!)
  3. Once fluffy, gently fold in the egg.
  4. Mix in extract and peanut butters until combined.
  5. Sift together baking powder, corn starch and flour then add to wet mixture.
  6. Stir in chocolate chips.
  7. Refrigerate dough 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
  8. When ready to bake, prep a pan with either parchment or butter and flour.
  9. Roll two pieces of dough into two equal sized logs and pinch just one end to create a heart shape. See the picture below.
  10. Bake for 9-12 minutes or until golden brow. Cool and enjoy with a big cup of milk!

I’ve made these twice now in less than two weeks. The husband and kid just gobble them down and leave me crumbs, but, I just love baking for them! If you make these for the Valentine’s in your life, let me know in the comments below! Enjoy!
