Sweetheart Peanut Blossoms


This is the traditional peanut butter cookie with what would normally be topped with a Hershey's Kiss.  But with Valentine's Day just next week, I opted for the Dove heart-shaped milk chocolate candy.  Always good.

SWEETHEART PEANUT BLOSSOMS (makes about 3 dozen)

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 cup AP flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 package heart-shaped chocolates

Cream butter and sugars.  Add egg and vanilla.  Add dry ingredients.  (At this point, I prefer to chill my cookie dough, preferably overnight).  Roll into balls (I weigh mine out at 20 grams each).  Place on baking sheet lined with a Silpat or parchment paper.  Bake 8-10 minutes at 375.  Press the heart-shaped chocolate gently into each cookie.  Bake 1-3 minutes longer.
