Making Magic In the Middle Cookies

I’m not much of a baker, but it is the holidays, and these cookies looked just too good to pass up.

So Hanna and I decided to tackle this delicious baking project. She and I have never really baked together before. She loves to cook, so she was all about it.

She helped pour the dry ingredients into the mixing bowl,and roll the “magic middles”.

Then she was all about rolling the big chocolate balls in sugar.

I didn’t realize how fun it would be to bake with the little monkey. She is very “me do it”, but she was able to be patient and help with the parts that were good for little fingers.

All in all we had a blast. The last batch is baking in the oven, and I can’t wait to sink my teeth into them.

I found the recipe for these “Magic in the MIddle” cookies on The Recipe Girl, a great recipe blog.  The cookies are a chocolate outside with a yummy peanut butter surprise in the middle.  It was a little complicated, but not difficult, just quite a few steps. It was a nice treat to spend a while with Hanna baking though.

Here’s how our cookies turned out.

Hanna has just declared them “delicious!”

Grab your kids and cook some yummy Magic in the Middle Cookies.  We’ve got some Sugar Cookies to make on Wednesday for Santa, so we’ll be back in the kitchen soon.
