We spent the afternoon today making peanut butter cookies with heart shaped chocolates as a surprise for daddy when he comes home from work!
These girls love to help bake and cook in the kitchen. They knew as soon as we were getting home from school we were going to work on the cookies and just couldn't wait another minute to get started!
We used a Betty Crocker pouch of peanut butter cookies, but at the bottom I’ll share my recipe for homemade- which of course are so much better. But, limited time on a school night meant we needed quick and easy.
Plus, happy hour may have already started on the other side of this camera. So, here’s to you Betty.
When Daddy arrived home, he had a single rose for each of his girls, some chocolates and a few small surprises for the girls. And, the girls couldn't wait to show their daddy the cookies they made for him!

3/4 c. Creamy Peanut Butter
1/2 cup Crisco
1 1/4 C firmly packed brown sugar
3 tbsp milk
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 3/4 C All Purpose Flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
Heat oven to 375.
Combine peanut butter, shortening, sugar, milk and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat with electric mixer until well blended. Add egg. Best just until blended.
Combine flour, baking soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture just until blended. Drop 1 inch rounded balls of dough into baking sheet and bake for 7-8 minutes.
Let cool slightly and press chocolate hearts or Hershey kissed onto the tops and place in refrigerator so they don’t melt.
Happy Valentine's Day from Rockfish Farm!
