definately not for the cookie swap!!!

okay...I cut out this recipe, my mom cut out this recipe and my sister made this recipe. I cannot begin to describe these babies....they are soooooo good!!

Peanut Butter Surprise Cookies

1/2 c. of each - butter, sugar and brown sugar
1/4 c. smooth peanut butter
1 egg
1 Tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. cocoa powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 c. flour

Filling:
1/2 c. smooth peanut butter
1/4 c. butter
3/4c. icing sugar
1 Tbsp. corn starch

about 3 tbsp. sugar and semi-sweet chocolate chips

Beat butter with sugars and peanut butter. Beat in egg, milk and vanilla. Stir in cocoa, baking soda and flour. Refrigerate.

Beat peanut butter, butter, icing sugar and cormstarch until smooth. Spoon onto plastic wrap and use the wrap to shape a 2/4 inch (2 cm) thick log. Freeze for 10 minutes.

Slice PB log into 32 pieces. To make cookies flatten 1 tablespoon of chocolate dough (I did this on a piece of plastic wrap), place a PB dough disk in the middle and fold the chocolate around it to seal the cookie. (I also used the plastic wrap to do this) Place in the 3 tablespoons of sugar and coat both sides. Place on a cooke sheet and press a few chocolate chips into the top. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Let cool 1 min. and transfer to cooling rack.

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT try to cookies raw before you put them in the oven. The result could be that none of them ever even make it into the oven!!!!! YUMMM!!!

Makes 32 cookies.

PS - wasn't even close to getting a pic of these ones

These are a hit wherever they are taken - many, many requests for the recipe! Haven't tried them raw but there's always a first time...
