Tonight I made Magic in the Middle chocolate peanuts butter cookies, using a King Arthur Flour Company recipe.
Except I inadvertently made a double batch, because I'm so used to cookie recipes taking two sticks of butter that I had creamed the butter and was adding the sugar before I realized that was too much butter.
The recipe is a little fiddly with having to make the peanut filling and then carefully measuring to ensure enough dough to wrap around the filling. I did find out that the round measuring spoons from IKEA are pretty good substitutes for teaspoon and tablespoon cookies scoops, if you don't mind a little mess.
I'm not sure that rolling the cookies in sugar contributed anything, but flattening them is actually important to have them be flat cookies. This is the kind of recipe that would be fun to do as a group -- there's a lot of handwork involved, and a double or triple batch could easily be split between friends.
