Another Recipe!

I know, I know... this is becoming the Desserts-R-Us blog. I had both an extraction AND a root canal, on opposite sides of my mouth, last week, and I'm fantasizing about foods I totally can't eat right now. I wish I could just make my Recipe Box on AllRecipes.com public, but I haven't figured out how yet. SO- I get to share all the best ones on my blog. This one is for "Magic Peanut Butter Middles". Drool. I love anything and everything Reese's, and I think these babies do a pretty decent impersonation. Next thing you know they'll have booked a full time gig in Vegas! :) Here they are:

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/4 cup peanut butter

• 3/4 cup peanut butter

DIRECTIONS

1. In small bowl blend flour, cocoa and baking soda. Mix until well blended.
2. In large bowl beat sugar, butter or margarine and 1/4 cup peanut butter, until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and egg, beat. Stir in flour mixture until blended. Set aside.
3. To make Filling: Combine confectioner's sugar and 3/4 cup peanut butter. Blend well.
4. Roll filling into 30 - 1 inch balls. For each cookie, with floured hands, shape about 1 Tablespoon of dough around 1 peanut butter ball, covering completely. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten with glass dipped in sugar.
5. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 7-9 minutes. When cookies are done, they should be set and slightly cracked.
