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.

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
wow, these look fantastic!
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.
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.
I'll be making these this week. They look fabulous, plus I can freeze them. What more could you ask for.
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
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!

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!
What a great recipe. My chocoholic side is jumping with joy.
