Peanut Butter Heart Cookies Recipe

I’m sharing a festive and very tasty cookie recipe today. These are perfect for a Valentine’s Day Dessert, or you can make them year-round. My daughter and I enjoyed making these together and they turned out so yummy! I’m excited to share our Peanut Butter Heart Cookies recipe. I had so much fun making this heart cookies recipe with my daughter. She’s at such a fun age. We’re just getting to the point where we can have full conversations and she’s wanting to help with everything, and wanting to go with me everywhere. She’s my little bestie. She always likes to help in the kitchen but this was the first experience where I told her the order of ingredients and she wanted to put them all in herself.

We had so much fun baking together. She kept stealing bites of brown sugar, and of course, couldn’t resist the cookie dough once it was all mixed. I love experiencing these moments with her…this is everything I imagined motherhood would be. She pretty much made this batch of cookies herself (with my assistance of course) and she even rolled them into little balls in preparation for baking. 

We tried rolling out some dough to use our heart shaped cookie cutters but those didn’t turn out as cute. We’ll have to attempt those again next time to master using cookie cutters…LOL! But you’ll love this recipe. The combination of chocolate and peanut butter is simply divine. These cookies literally melt in your mouth and honestly, it’s hard to stop!! They are that good! These are perfect for a Valentine’s party, or just to make for a special loved one or neighbor (if allergies aren’t an issue of course!).

A lot of similar heart cookies recipes call for rolling the dough balls in sugar before baking. That’s certainly an option but we are trying to reduce sugar where we can and these cookies are so good without the additional sugar. It’s really not needed! The chocolate peanut butter hearts will start melting as soon as you put them on the hot-out-of-the-oven cookies, so if you are planning to gift these cookies, put the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to let them cool faster and you’ll keep that pretty little heart shape!
