# Steps to Make It:
01 -
Once baked, set the pan down and gently pop a chocolate heart right in the middle of each hot cookie.
02 -
Bake in the hot oven for 10 to 12 minutes. You'll know they're done when little cracks show on top.
03 -
Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough. Roll them into balls, then roll in some white sugar. Space the balls apart, around 5 cm, on a tray lined with parchment.
04 -
Pour your flour mix into the bowl and mix on low just until it all comes together. Stop as soon as it's combined.
05 -
Crack in the egg and pour in the vanilla. Keep mixing for another minute until it all looks even.
06 -
Toss both sugars, peanut butter and the soft butter into a big bowl. Use your hand mixer or stand mixer to beat on medium until it's pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
07 -
Stir your flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Mix it up well, then set it aside for now.
08 -
Switch your oven to 175°C and let it heat up, using both top and bottom heat if you can.
# Extra Information:
01 -
Leave your butter out before starting. When it's at room temp everything mixes better and your dough stays soft, not tough.
