Ingredients

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 t baking powder
  • 1 1/2 t baking soda
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 1/4 cup red and pink sprinkles
  • 36 Hershey milk chocolate hearts

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Cookie Sheet: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and lightly grease a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
  2. Mix Butter, Sugars, and Peanut Butter: In a stand mixer or a large bowl using a hand held mixer combine the softened butter, sugars and peanut butter until light and fluffy.
  3. Add Eggs: Add in the eggs one at a time to combine.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients and Sprinkles: Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and gently add to the mixture. Mix until just combined. Fold in the Valentine’s sprinkles and mix through.
  5. Scoop and Bake: Using a medium-sized cookie scoop, scoop out 12 cookies onto the cookie sheet. Place in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Just until they are slightly golden around the edges.
  6. Add Chocolate Hearts: Immediately after you remove them from the oven, place an unwrapped Hershey’s milk chocolate heart in the center, pushing down a bit to secure.
  7. Cool Cookies: Move the cookies to a cookie rack to cool completely. They will stay fresh in an air tight container for up to 5 days. They also freeze great!
