Buckeye Cookies
Report
Buckeye Cookies are delightful treats that combine creamy peanut butter with rich chocolate, creating a perfect balance of sweet flavors. These easy-to-make cookies feature a soft peanut butter center dipped in smooth chocolate, leaving a peek of peanut butter on top to resemble the iconic buckeye nut
Share:
Ingredients
- 1½ cups creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon shortening optional, for smoother chocolate
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the peanut butter, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, stirring until fully combined and a stiff dough forms.
- Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze the peanut butter balls for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the chocolate chips with shortening in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Using a toothpick, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, leaving a small portion of the peanut butter visible at the top to resemble a buckeye.
- Place the dipped buckeyes back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Remove the toothpick and smooth over the hole if desired. Let the buckeyes set at room temperature or refrigerate until firm.

Notes
- Use High-Quality Chocolate: Opt for good-quality semisweet chocolate chips to ensure a rich and smooth chocolate coating.
- Firm the Dough Properly: Freezing the peanut butter balls for at least 30 minutes is crucial for making the dipping process easier.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to add a sprinkle of crushed nuts, a dash of sea salt, or even a drizzle of white chocolate to personalize your Buckeye Cookies.
- Work Quickly with Chocolate: Dip each peanut butter ball promptly after melting the chocolate to ensure a smooth and even coating before the chocolate sets.
