Valentine’s Day Peanut Butter Cookies
If you look through all our recipes you’ll easily realize that we love Peanut Butter around here. I’m often searching out new ways to use peanut butter in dessert recipes! But today I have a traditional recipe with a Valentine’s Day twist on it – peanut butter cookies.
This recipe is perfect for letting the kiddos help and get involved. They’ll have a lot of fun making these delicious treats! My youngest helped me make some for her class Valentine’s Day party last year and they were a hit with all the kids.
