Chocolate Heart Peanut Butter Cookies

Classic Peanut Butter Blossoms are peanut butter cookies with a Hershey’s Kiss in the center. With these cookies, the decadent factor is turned up. Instead of a kiss in the center of the cookie, this cookie uses a Reese Peanut Butter Cup Heart. These mini Reese’s cups are perfect on this cookie. The peanut butter cookie topped with a peanut butter cup heart makes these the best Valentine’s Day Cookies.

Can I Use Crunchy Peanut Butter?

If you prefer crunchy peanut butter in your peanut butter cookies, you can swap it for the creamy peanut butter. It gives a nice texture to the cookies.

Are These Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies?

These cookies are a great combination of a slightly crisp cookie on the outside and a chewy cookie on the inside. To help the cookies stay chewy be sure to not overbake the cookies and keep them stored in an airtight container.
