Check out these peanut butter cookies that my mom made us for Valentine's Day. She wrapped them in a beautiful red box with a cupid on the front. I wish I had enough energy and a working computer to show you these before, but they were beautiful and yummy.
You make a simple peanut butter cookie dough, roll in balls, flatten them with a cup dipped in sugar, press your thumb two ways in the center to make a heart, and fill with jam. Yumm, Yumm, Yumm!!!! My daughter and I made a batch to take to Bible study but we didn't go because I wasn't feeling well and we munched them up. We made a few without jam and put three chocolate chips in at the end and then swirled with a toothpick. I also made a few with just a small heart cookie cutter pressed part way in in the center for my son who wanted some without anything. All great and yummy.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Heart Cookies
1 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar
1c. peanut butter
1 egg
Cream the butter and sugars, add egg, then dry ingredients. Roll into balls, flatten with a cup dipped in sugar, impress a heart using your thumb or finger tip (criss cross them). Bake 350 for about 10 mins, pull out fill heart with jam or jelly bake for about another 5 mins or until firm. We had to press the heart bake down a bit before we put in the jelly.
The recipe is from Martha Stewart.
Enjoy.
