Buckeye Brownie Cookies

Buckeye Brownie Cookies combine the rich flavors of brownies and peanut butter in a delightful treat. These cookies feature a fudgy brownie base topped with a creamy peanut butter disc and dipped in melted chocolate.

Ingredients:

• 1 box brownie mix
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to the temperature specified on the brownie mix box

In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and water

Mix until smooth

Spoon the brownie batter onto a baking sheet in tablespoon-sized portions, spacing them apart

In a separate bowl, mix together peanut butter and powdered sugar until well combined

Form small balls of the peanut butter mixture and flatten them into discs

Place a peanut butter disc on top of each brownie batter portion, pressing down slightly

Bake in the preheated oven for the time specified on the brownie mix box, or until the brownie cookies are set

Once the cookies are baked, let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and unsalted butter in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth

Stir in the vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture

Dip each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate, covering the peanut butter top

Place the dipped cookies on a parchment-lined tray and allow the chocolate to set

Once the chocolate has set, the Buckeye Brownie Cookies are ready to be enjoyed
