Buckeye Brownie Cookies
One of the best things about cooking and baking is sharing great recipes with friends and family. My friend Jenn is an awesome baker and shared this cookie recipe with me. It is a cross between a cookie and a brownie with a touch of peanut butter inside. Buckeye Brownie Cookies looked so good, I just had to make them for my family. They are so rich and delicious!
Whether you take these yummy treats to a tailgate party or share them with friends over the holidays, they are rich and tasty and will get rave reviews. It is a sweet combination of a peanut butter buckeye candy and a brownie cookie. Does it get an better than that?
Buckeye Brownie Cookies Recipe
What’s needed?
- 1 box fudge brownie mix (18.5 oz.)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 4 blocks, about 4 oz. Chocolate Candiquik
How to make Buckeye Brownie Cookies?
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix brownie mix, butter, cream cheese and egg until blended.
- Use a small scoop to scoop dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet, making about 24 round cookies. Bake the cookies for 12 minutes. Do not overbake the cookies.
- In a separate bowl, mix the powdered sugar and the peanut butter until it is completely blended. Use a small scoop to make 24 small peanut butter balls.
- When the cookies come out of the oven, gently press a peanut butter ball in the center of each cookie. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Candiquik can be found in the baking section of most grocery stores.
- Melt the 4 blocks of Candiquik in a microwaveable bowl for 1 minute. Stir the chocolate and microwave for another 15 seconds. Spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of chocolate over each cookie, covering the peanut butter ball. Let the chocolate set. Store the cookies in an airtight container.
