Here is a new twist to an old favorite. We all have heard or seen the traditional Peanut Butter Cookie with a Chocolate kiss in the middle. Well, why not put a real kiss in the middle in time for Valentine’s Day parties.

Pucker up for these Peanut Butter Kiss Valentine’s Day cookies.

I have seen peanut butter cookies made with heart-shaped chocolate before, and when I saw these lip-shaped ones at our Dollar store, I could not resist.

They came from the Dollar Store so I might look for a better quality piece if the chocolate means a lot to you, but for the effect I think they are cute.

My kids did not mind the chocolate quality plus with a good peanut butter cookie base it is all about the cookie. You can get better quality Valentine Chocolate Lips At Amazon. 

How to Make Peanut Butter “Kiss” Cookies

I recommend using Small Cookie Scoop to get perfect scoops of dough.

Once baked, allow the cookies to cool slightly, about 30-45 seconds,  then add the chocolate lips or heart candy in the middle.

I am not sure if I like the pink, red or plain sugared cookies. It is a little hard to tell but I rolled these cookies in pink, red and plain sugar. 

Don’t you think your kids will go crazy over these peanut butter kiss cookies, the Close to Home version?
