(by Shirley McNevich)

3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup Domino's dark brown sugar
3/4 cup butter
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup Jif peanut butter
2 eggs
2 1/4 cups flour
3/4 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
2 bags bite sized (NOT fun size) Milky Way candies--about 54 pieces

Unwrap the Milky Ways--set aside. In a mixer add white sugar, brown sugar and butter--beat. Add eggs and vanilla--beat. Add peanut butter--beat. Add baking soda, baking powder and salt--beat. Add flour--beat well. Wrap a heaping tsp. of cookie dough around each unwrapped Milky Way and form the dough so candy is covered. Place on greased cookie sheets. Repeat until you run out of dough. Bake at 350 degrees for 13-16 minutes. Remove from oven, let them cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes, then remove from cookie sheets and place them on paper towels to cool.
