| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Fudge Brownie Mix (19.5 oz) | 1 box |
| Vanilla Extract | 2 teaspoons |
| Cornstarch | 1 teaspoon |
| Butter, Melted | 1/4 cup |
| Cream Cheese, Softened | 4 ounces |
| Egg | 1 |
| Powdered Sugar | 1 cup |
| Creamy Peanut Butter | 1 cup |
| Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips | 4 ounces |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Brownie Dough: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine brownie mix, vanilla extract, cornstarch, melted butter, cream cheese, and egg. Mix well using a hand mixer. The dough will be slightly sticky.
-
Shape and Bake: Scoop the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet, forming round cookies. Smooth the edges of each cookie. Bake for 12 minutes.
-
Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling: While the cookies bake, combine powdered sugar and peanut butter in a medium bowl. Mix well to form a smooth paste. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls, creating one ball for each cookie.
-
Assemble the Cookies: As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, gently press a peanut butter ball into the center of each cookie. The peanut butter will slightly soften.
-
Cool and Top: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Add Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth. Spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of melted chocolate over each peanut butter ball, covering it completely.
-
Store: Allow the chocolate to set completely. Store the Buckeye Brownie Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
Enjoy these delicious and decadent treats!
