* Heart shaped Chocolates (we used dove milk chocolates and reese’s peanut butter hearts)
* 1/2 cup shortening
* 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
* 1/3 cup granulated sugar
* 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
* 1 egg
* 2 tablespoons milk
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* granulated sugar
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Remove wrappers from chocolates.
2. Beat shortening and peanut butter in large bowl. Add 1/3 cup granulated and brown sugar; beat until fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat well. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into mixture.
3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in sugar; place on ungreased cookie sheet.
4. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately press a chocolate heart into center of each cookie. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. (we put them in the freezer because the chocolate hearts continue to melt)
Makes about 4 dozen cookies.

I never thought of putting those little hearts on!!! They are just way too adorable!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
These look really good – they're making me want to eat one – at 7:23 am, way too early in the morning for chocolate!
I love the look of those and I'm sure they taste delicious! Love the hearts on them instead of a chocolate kiss. Not that kisses aren't good… ;o)
peanut butter blossoms are my husbands fave! Thanks so much for sharing this cute way to adapt them for valentines day.

Hello Eigthteen25 girls!
I'm in need of a little help. I'm moving to Vegas in a week and I will know no one there to point me to the best stores for crafting and paper. Please help. I'm moving to the Summerlin area if that helps but would be willing to travel to where the best places are. Thanks so much!
And those cookies are to die for!
This is such a fun idea for Valentines. Thanks so much and way to go making them on your own. They look so yummy!
What a fun twist to one of my all-time faves! I think I'll whip up a batch this weekend.
What a great idea to use the chocolate hearts! I usually give some cookies to the neighbors on Valentine's Day and these will be perfect. How funny…I never thought of using the hearts instead of the kisses. You guys are amazing!

What a cute idea, there is always a holiday candy out. Perfect idea.
My husband LOVES peanut butter blossoms..but hates chocolate any other time. Weird huh? Anyway, this is a cute idea for Valentine's Day. He never wants to get a separate present because his birthday is that same week. Thanks for a great idea for my honey's Valentine's Day gift that won't cost more than $10!
