Oh! My! Gosh! I mean seriously! I think I should rename these cookies to Danger Will Robinson Cookies. They’re sooo delicious they are truly dangerous. They are soft, moist, chewy, and way yummy! I stashed mine in the back of the freezer hoping to forget about them for a bit. No chance and they’re even fabulous frozen. You have to try these. They have officially gone on my favorite foods of all times list. Bet they’ll go on yours, too.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Make Cookies: In a small bowl, blend flour, cocoa, and baking soda.
- In a large bowl beat white sugar, brown sugar, butter and 1/4 cup peanut butter, until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and egg, beat until blended. Stir in flour mixture until blended. Set aside.
- Make the filling: Combining the confectioners sugar and 3/4 cup peanut butter. Beat well with electric mixer until mixture comes together.
- Roll filling into 30 1 inch balls. Form exterior part of cookie by sectioning dough into approximately 1 tablespoon pieces and then shaping the exterior part of cookie around filling balls. Cover the filling completely. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten with a glass dipped in sugar.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 7-9 minutes. ( I baked mine for 7 minutes ) Allow to cool on cookie sheet for 10 minutes then remove to a cooling rack and cool completely.

Kathy

They look and sound yummy Kathleen! Shoving in the freezer can sometimes be a more dangerous thing for me to do….although the extra energy spent opening and closing the door may burn a few extra calories.
You are tempting me! If only we can do cookie exchange via the internet…..
Can i say, you have just made my morning. I'm off to find the ingredients for these. Now.
Ughhhh totally craving peanut butter and chocolate right now!! Wouldn't mind having some for breakfast with my coffee
Why do I not have peanut butter in my cupboards now.
I loved how you tried to hide them in the back of the freezer and then ate them frozen:D That sounds exactly like something I would do. There isn't much that gets in the way of me and the duo of peanut butter and chocolate! They look delicious. I'm going to keep them in mind next time I make some cookies.
wow…
gorgeous.. I am making these this week.
My mother in law loves peanut butter cookies
thanks my friend
These do look delicious!! I am going to have to try them.
The Peppered Pantry

These look totally scrumptious! I would not even have the willpower to freeze them. My favorite combo in cookie form – hard to resist!
These look absolutely, positively incredible! A keeper for sure!
They are delicious, aren't they? This is one of my favorite recipes.
What beautiful cookies! I want some!
These really would be dangerous…I don't think that I could stop eating them. Wonderful recipe!
Yeah, Danger Will Robinson agreed! I don't think those would last an hour in my place.
These are amazing. I just made them and my boyfriend and his roommate are gobbling them up…I'm helping quite a bit too. Thanks!
Incredible cookies. These go to the top of the cookie list.

OK, now you've done it. I will just have to make these. Thanks. A. Lot. HUGS!!!! They look like they'd be a favorite here, too.
dangerous indeed! the peanut buttery innards of your cookies looks like just the right amount to compliment the chocolate blanket–nicely done!
These have me drooling – I'm a total fiend for chocolate & peanut butter.
OMG is right! These look amazing! Great recipe!!
(BTW…found this post on Foodblogs. I'm totally obsessed with cookies right now, so I was immediately drawn to this recipe!)
they're so cute with the 2=toned colors.
These look sooo good. Like a reese's peanut butter cup in cookie form!!

Woahh! Those look amazing! PB & chocolate is my favorite for sure.
Chocolate and peanut butter..what a beautiful combination:)
What a great recipe. My chocoholic side is jumping with joy.
I am printing this recipe out right now! My daughter was trying to figure out how to do this and they just would not work. She was improvising, so she could have left out a crucial step and we live at altitude which may have caused troubles, but I am going to have her look at your recipe and try it again!
BTW, all of her flops tasted great!
Thanks for sharing this!
I'll be including it tomorrow in the spotlight on Foodwhirl.com: http://foodwhirl.com/spotlight/spotlight-magic-middle-peanut-butter-cookies

So happy that I found this blog!
This might put a dent in my weight loss plans! I can't WAIT to make these. I LOVE anything and everything to do with PB and then you throw the chocolate in there… i'm so done!
Thanks for sharing and thanks for stopping by my blog.
Hi Kathleen
I trust you`re well.
Just to thank you for your awesome recipe, I made your cookies and they are divine.
I have posted them on Magic Flavours too.
Many thanks
I'll be making these this week. They look fabulous, plus I can freeze them. What more could you ask for.
Man, your blog is soooo bad for my expanding tush, but who cares. I'm more into exercising my mouth and tongue by chewing anyway. Another treat that I'll make and I think my nieces and nephews will like them as well.
These sound so delicious that even Santa (who's tasted all the cookies in the world), will loosen his belt for these Magic Middle masterpeices.
wow, these look fantastic!
Thank you! I just made these tonight and they were unbelievable. My husband wants to eat them all. Thank you for sharing.
Christina, I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed them. Thanks for letting me know. Happy Holiday
