This recipe was given to my mother by one of her neighbors over 30 years ago. It is the only peanut butter cookie recipe I will ever use!

2.14.19 Wanted just a little something to end a Valentine s Day dinner today. I just knew this would be the perfect finish to the meal with a couple strawberries that are peak season right now in Florida. There are a number of peanut butter blossom cookie recipes on this site I ve tried several and this one certainly measures up well. Although the peanut butter-chocolate heart didn t melt into a blob on the top it s melted when you bite into it (yum!). There s only one issue with this recipe and that is it doesn t tell you what temperature to use. I baked at 350ºF and since my cookies were a bit on the large side it did take about 15-16 minutes total time. They were good! Read More
