Step 1

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Unwrap chocolate hearts and set aside.
2. In large bowl, beat margarine and peanut butter until well blended. Add 1/3 cup granulated sugar and brown sugar. Beat until light and fluffy. Add egg, milk, and vanilla and beat well.
3. In separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to peanut butter mixture and mix well.
4. Shape dough into one inch balls. Roll each ball in 1/4 cup sugar. Place on parchment lined baking sheet.
5. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately place a chocolate heart on top of each cookie and press down so cookie cracks around the edges. Remove cookies from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
