Ingredients

    • 1 box fudge brownie mix (19.5 ounces or family size)

    • ¼ cup butter, melted

    • 4 oz. (½ block) cream cheese, softened

    • 1 egg

    • 1 cup powdered sugar

    • 1 cup creamy peanut butter

    • 4 blocks (about 4 ounces) chocolate Candiquik or your favorite chocolate for melting


Instructions

    1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    1. Make the Brownie Dough: In a medium bowl, beat together the brownie mix, melted butter, softened cream cheese, and egg until well combined. The dough will be a bit sticky.

    1. Scoop the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet, making about 24 cookies. Smooth the edges of each mound to form a round cookie shape.

    1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling: In a separate bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and creamy peanut butter until fully combined. Form the mixture into about 1-inch balls, making sure you have one ball for each cookie. Set aside.

    1. Bake the Cookies: Bake the brownie cookies in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes, keeping an eye on them to avoid overcooking or undercooking.

    1. Add the Peanut Butter Balls: As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, press a peanut butter ball lightly into the center of each cookie. The peanut butter mixture will soften slightly—this is okay!

    1. Cool the Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    1. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwavable bowl, melt the 4 blocks of chocolate in the microwave for 45 seconds. Stir, then continue melting in additional 15-second intervals until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

    1. Top the Cookies: Spoon about ½ tablespoon of melted chocolate over each cookie, ensuring it covers the peanut butter ball.

    1. Let the Chocolate Set: Allow the chocolate to set before storing the cookies in an airtight container.


Notes

    • Chocolate Variations: You can use dark chocolate or milk chocolate according to your preference.

    • Add Nuts: For extra texture, consider adding chopped nuts to the brownie dough.

    • Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.

These Buckeye Brownie Cookies are a delightful fusion of flavors that will satisfy your chocolate and peanut butter cravings. Enjoy each delicious bite! 🍪🥜✨
