What You’ll Need for These Delicious Buckeye Brownie Cookies

These incredible cookies are a delightful fusion of rich brownie goodness with the classic flavors of peanut butter and chocolate. Below is everything you need to whip up this comforting treat.

1 cup butter, melted
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup chocolate chips

Let’s Get Cooking!

Alright friends, it’s time to put those ingredients to good use! Here’s how I make these Buckeye Brownie Cookies. Follow along; it’s super simple!

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Don’t forget to grease your cookie sheets, this helps keep everything from sticking!
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until it’s all nicely combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well until smooth and creamy. You’ll really start to smell that delicious buttery goodness at this point!
Combine the Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to your wet ingredients, stirring until it comes together beautifully. You want it to be smooth, no lumps allowed!
Bake the Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the brownie batter onto your prepared baking sheets. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. They’ll look lovely, and your kitchen will smell heavenly!
Prepare the Peanut Butter Topping: While the cookies cool on a wire rack, mix together the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar until it’s smooth and creamy. It should be thick enough to hold its shape but not too runny.
Top the Cookies: Once the cookies have cooled slightly, dollop the peanut butter mixture on top of each cookie. You want each one to have that signature Buckeye look!
Add the Chocolate Drizzle: Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or over a double boiler. Drizzle or dip each cookie into the melted chocolate. Let the chocolate set before serving, if you can wait that long!
