Halloween is coming up, and you know what that means…candy everywhere!! What a great holiday. I’ll take any excuse I can to eat more sugar. I have the perfect recipe today to use up some leftover Halloween candy, or to take advantage of the Halloween candy sales that are all over the stores. This cookie uses one of my favorite candy bars – Butterfinger. Butterfinger Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies. There is a lot going on in this cookie! …

Are you tired of chocolate peanut butter recipes yet? I sure hope not, because they are not going anywhere. We (and especially TheBetterHalf) are just way too obsessed with that flavor combo! We have Häagen-Dazs Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream in our freezer pretty much all the time. It is a dangerous habit.
I’ve had my eye on this cookie recipe for a long time now. I’ve seen them called Magic in the Middles, Chocolate Peanut Butter Surprise Cookies, Buckeye Cookies – whatever they are called, a chocolate cookie with peanut putter filling is pretty much pure heaven! First you make a basic chocolate cookie dough. Form it into balls and set it aside while you make the filling. Mix together peanut butter and powdered sugar, and form that into little balls as well. That stuff can be sticky! I used slightly damp hands when I was making the filling balls, and that worked well for me. Then you flatten out your cookie dough ball, place a peanut butter ball inside, shape the dough around the filling, and voila! I can see why people call them magic in the middles – you think it is just a simple chocolate cookie, but then you bite into it and there is sweet, peanut butter deliciousness! Magic some might say. …
This is not the first chocolate chip cookie recipe that I have posted on ChezCateyLou, and it certainly won’t be the last. There are just so many recipes out there for this classic cookie, and I love trying different versions! It also helps that TheBetterHalf loves chocolate chip cookies – have to keep him happy! I have made the Jacques Torres recipe and a recipe using browned butter, and I really love them both. But when I saw this recipe on Sally’s Baking Addiction, I wanted to try them because one of the ingredients intrigued me – cornstarch! I have never used cornstarch in my baking. The cornstarch makes the cookies light and fluffy, always a good thing in my book! And wow, these cookies were so soft and fluffy! The recipe uses dark brown sugar, which I love for chocolate chip cookies because it gives the cookie a caramel-y flavor that works so well with the chocolate chips. I can’t wait to try cornstarch in other cookies recipes! …
