The cutest chocolate peanut butter cookies, perfect for Valentine's Day and beyond! This recipe makes delightful, crinkled peanut butter cookies topped with chocolate hearts.
Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Cream together softened butter and peanut butter using a stand mixer or hand mixer. Gradually add both sugars, beating until light and fluffy. Add in egg, beat well.
In a separate bowl sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add to peanut butter mixture and beat well.
Rub both hands with a little flour and shake off the excess. Shape dough into 1 1/2-inch balls. Place 9 balls on each cookie sheet, making sure they are 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each cookie with a flat, smooth spatula.
Bake cookies in the preheated oven at 350ºF for 10-12 minutes until just slightly golden and crinkled. When done, immediately press each chocolate heart gently on the center of cookies. Transfer cookie sheet to wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Then transfer cookies to wire rack to cool completely.
