Peanut Butter Heart Cookies

You’re sure to win over your sweetheart with these amazing Peanut Butter Heart Cookies. My favorite soft and chewy peanut butter cookies, with a Reese’s peanut butter heart pressed into the center.

I love easy Valentine’s recipes like these heart cookies, these Heart Cupcakes, and the classic super soft Sugar Cookies!  Don’t miss all my other Valentine’s recipes!

Peanut Butter Cookies with a reese's chocolate heart in the center, stacked on a plate.

I’m a total sucker for Reese’s holiday peanut butter cups. Do you know the ones I’m talking about? They’re shaped as pumpkins at halloween, Christmas trees at Christmastime, and hearts during Valentines? They are WAY better than the regular Reese’s! They’re packed with twice as much peanut butter filling, and the chocolate isn’t “waxy” like it sometimes is with the mini Reese’s cups.

My husband –who knows chocolate is truly the way to my heart — usually surprises me with one during each of those holidays. What a sweetheart, right? 😉

Why I LOVE this recipe:

So, I’m kind of a cookie snob. Ok not “kind-of”. I AM a cookie snob. I don’t think there’s anything worse than a crunchy, hard cookie! My ideal cookie has a slight crisp to the outside, but is really soft and chewy. These Peanut Butter Cookies are exactly that. They are fantastic!
