Chocolate Heart Peanut Butter Cookies

Chocolate and peanut butter marry in a favorite cookie combo. Make the classic easier with an easy-mix cookie mix.

Prep: 40 minutes / Total: 40 minutes / Makes: 3 dozen cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 pouch (1 lb 1.5 oz) Betty Crocker peanut butter cookie mix
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 36 heart-shaped milk chocolate candies

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, oil, water and egg until dough forms.
2. Shape dough into 36 (1-inch) balls; roll in sugar. Place 2 inches apart on un-greased cookie sheets.
3. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately press chocolate candy into top of each cookie. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 20 minutes, before storing in tightly covered container.

Success: For even baking, make sure cookies are the same size.

Do-Ahead: Cookie dough can be covered and refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking. If it’s too firm, let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
