Easy PB&J Heart Cookies

If you’re looking for a quick valentines inspired dessert to throw together in a flash, these PB&J Hearts are PERFECT! The classic combo of Peanut Butter and Jelly is sure to please everyone, and the adorable little jam hearts are just too cute. If you prefer, you can swap the pre-made dough for your favorite from-scratch recipe, but if you’re short on time the pre-made dough is really great and you can find it at most grocery stores or Target.

PB&J Heart Cookies

Servings 0

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Package Pillsbury Ready-to-Bake Reese's Peanut Butter Cookie Dough (can substitute with your favorite from-scratch PB Cookie recipe)
  • 1 Jar Red Raspberry Jam or Preserves (can substitute with strawberry if you'd rather)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with oven-safe parchment paper to prevent sticking
  • Roll each piece of dough between your hands to shape into a smooth ball. Lay out on baking sheet 2-3 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Cookies should be almost cooked, but still doughy in the middle.
  • CAREFULLY use your thumbs to make a heart shaped indent in the dough. The pan and dough will be very hot, so take extra caution. You can also use a spoon to do this, but I've found thumbs really do work best.
  • Add a small bit of jam to each indent. Just enough to fill it in, but try not to overfill.
  • Return to oven and bake for 2-4 more minutes, or until the edges are slightly crispy and the middles are set. Let cool fully before serving.
