Oh yes.  Yes, you read that right.

I made these babies the other night for family movie night, and let me tell you, it’s stupid how good they are.  If you like chocolate and peanut butter, ZOMG.  One caveat: they are messy.  We instituted a rule after last night’s chocolate-crumb-catastrophe; you can only indulge in these cookies outside in the yard.

I had a proud happy homemaker moment making these, too, because I didn’t have any brown sugar.  So guess what? I made my own.  Booyah!  I had read somewhere that you could make it easily with white sugar and molasses, both of which I had.  One cup of sugar + 1 tablespoon blackstrap molasses = brown sugar!  It looks pretty good, no?

The cookie dough is really like a cake batter.  The cookies turned out almost like Devil’s food cake.  Super yum.

I know, it doesn't look all that appealing raw...

... but check them out baked!

Then you make a filling with peanut butter, and all is right with the world.

Don’t they look fab?  If you want to make them, I got the recipe from Martha Stewart’s Cookies cookbook.  You can find the recipe on her site here.
