Valentine Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

This recipe is an amazingly TASTY recipe! If you love Valentine's Day and you love Peanut Butter cookies, then you hit the jackpot with this Valentine's Peanut Butter cookie recipe!

We used peanut butter in place of the butter in this take on a traditional cookie recipe, which turned out super nutty and soft & most importantly, delicious! Great for children too, they can get involved and decorate the Valentine's Day Peanut Butter cookies with frosting, edible glitter & dusts, sprinkles and some of their own creativity!
