Magic Middle Cookies- tender chocolate cookies stuffed with a creamy peanut butter filling, then rolled in sugar. Chocolate peanut butter perfection.
Magic Middle Cookies. Tender chocolate cookies with a creamy peanut butter filling. Amazing!Did you all miss me? No, I didn’t drop off the face of the planet. I spent the weekend at my parent’s house. My baby sister came down with her brand new baby, so I raced up as fast as I could to meet my new nephew. I’m not going to lie, I was completely selfish and spent most of my time snuggling Andrew. I don’t even think my mom got to hold him more than twice. Sorry mom! Something comes over me when there is a new baby nearby. 🙂

Since it’s been awhile since I posted, I didn’t want to take the time to type in a new recipe, so I’m using one that I prepared a few weeks ago. It is fattening, addicting, delicious, and the perfect way to start out the week. One of my son’s teachers loves chocolate and peanut butter, so I wanted to make something for her on the last day of school. I found this recipe on the King Arthur Flour website, and it looked fabulous, so I decided to give it a try.

Oh. My. Goodness. I love chocolate and peanut butter together, so these cookies are right up my alley. They are YUMMY! It was a good thing I gave most of the batch away or I would have eaten them till I was sick.
These peanut butter filled Magic Middle Cookies are a must try recipe!
They take a little bit of extra time to roll out, but it is so worth it. The cookies are perfectly soft and tender, and the peanut butter filling is heavenly. If you love chocolate and peanut butter, you have got to try these!!
