Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Cookies
- 1 box brownie mix (about 18 oz)
- Ingredients called for on brownie mix box (usually eggs, oil, water)
Peanut Butter Filling
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Chocolate Coating
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate)
Instructions
- Prepare the Brownie Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions, mixing all required ingredients. Drop spoonfuls of batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to form cookies.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake the brownie cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until edges are set but centers remain soft. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Make the Peanut Butter Filling: In a medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened butter until smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency with a little more powdered sugar if needed to achieve a firm yet spreadable texture.
- Prepare the Chocolate Coating: Melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth, or melt using a double boiler on the stovetop.
- Assemble Buckeye Brownie Cookies: Spread or pipe the peanut butter filling onto the flat side of one cookie, then top with another cookie to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling.
- Coat Cookies in Chocolate: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each peanut butter-filled cookie sandwich into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Place on parchment paper to set. Refrigerate until chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes.
Notes
- For a crunchier texture, add chopped peanuts to the peanut butter filling.
- Use natural peanut butter for a more intense, fresh peanut flavor.
- Ensure cookies are completely cooled before adding the filling to prevent melting.
- The chocolate coating can be flavored by adding a pinch of sea salt or a few drops of peppermint extract.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
