Description

These Buckeye Brownie Cookies are a delightful combination of rich, fudgy brownie cookies with a creamy peanut butter center, topped with a decadent layer of chocolate. Perfect for satisfying your chocolate and peanut butter cravings in one delicious treat!


Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Brownie Cookies:

  • 1 box fudge brownie mix (19.5 ounce or family size)
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 large egg

For the Peanut Butter Filling:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter

For the Chocolate Topping:

  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Cookies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, mix the brownie mix, melted butter, softened cream cheese, and egg until well combined. Scoop the dough into 24 portions on a cookie sheet, shaping them into round cookies.
  2. Make the Peanut Butter Filling: Combine the powdered sugar and peanut butter, forming small balls to top each cookie.
  3. Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies for 12 minutes, ensuring they are cooked through but not overdone.
  4. Add the Peanut Butter Center: Press a peanut butter ball into the center of each cookie as soon as they come out of the oven.
  5. Top with Chocolate: Melt the chocolate and spoon it over each cookie, covering the peanut butter ball. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.

Notes

  • You can refrigerate the cookies to help the chocolate set faster.
  • These cookies are best enjoyed within a few days of baking.
