Baked: Reese's cookies

I have a hard time figuring out what to call these cookies. I kept referring to them as "Peanut Butter Surprise Cookies," but quickly realized that it wasn't much of a surprise if the actual surprise was in the name.  The website I snatched this from, Gonna Want Seconds, refers to them as Magic Middle Peanut Butter Cookies. To me this insinuates that they are peanut butter cookies with magic in the middle. Peanut butter is not magical. It is tasty but it holds no magic, it is just smushed up peanuts.

As you can tell from the photos, I failed at the surprise part by not sealing the peanut butter filling adequately. If I could recommend anything, it would be to chill the filling so it is a bit more manageable and easier to wrap the exterior cookie around. Face-savingly I am going to say I did this on purpose to give it a bit of a dino-egg look. Happy Easter!
The sugar crusting is a must if you used a peanut butter that has a bit of saltiness to it (I used Kraft Smooth Peanut Butter and find it rather salty), and even more so if you used salted butter like I did. Thanks much Duncan for the butter share.

All that really matters is that they are delicious and I have already eaten four.
