Quick And Easy Cooking

Aren’t these the cutest things?  I feel that I think outside the box quite a bit,  but I would not have thought about taking heart shaped chocolate and putting it in a cookie.  I am now trying to think if there are any other shapes of chocolate that I could use for other holidays.  Maybe a bunny for Easter?  I’m sure there are others.  I will have to keep thinking on this one. 

I think these are a romantic cookie, but I’m sure kids would like them, too.

I am using the recipe that Betty Crocker provides on their website since I am using their photo, but I would think that using the recipe that I normally use for peanut butter blossoms would work just as well.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)

3/4 cup peanut butter

2 cups Original Bisquick mix

1 teaspoon vanilla

Sugar

About 36 heart-shaped milk chocolate candies

Directions

Heat oven to 375.  In large bowl, stir milk and peanut butter until smooth. Stir in Bisquick and vanilla.

Shape dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. Roll tops in sugar.  Place sugar side up 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until bottoms of cookies just begin to borown.  Immediately press chocolate candy into top of each cookie.  Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.
