Oh Oh.. It's magic!

I think I have discovered my new favorite food.. Peanut Butter Magic Cookies. If you like ooey gooey cookies and reese's cups... this cookie would blow you away!  I found the recipe in one of my favorite cook books, The Bright Family Cookbook.  It was given to us as a wedding present and we use the recipes in it all the time, especially for sweets.  Thanks Shelley, Jordan, and Mrs. Bright for enlightening me to my new favorite food! 

As you can tell, they have a fantastic gooey peanut butter center.  My favorite part :)
