My Oh My these delicious Magic Middle Peanut Butter Cookies might be too good. With their soft, moist chewy goodness – they’ve made my favorite list.
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 time list. Bet they’ll go on yours, too.

September 12, 2011 at 5:59 pmMan, 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.
Beverly@Beverly's Back Porch says

April 8, 2010 at 3:56 amI 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!

Kim says
March 21, 2010 at 7:17 pmI 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.
Bellini Valli says
March 21, 2010 at 5:44 pmWhy do I not have peanut butter in my cupboards now.

March 21, 2010 at 1:45 pmYou are tempting me! If only we can do cookie exchange via the internet…..
HoneyB says
March 21, 2010 at 1:32 pmThey 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. 😉
The French Bear says
