Buckeye Cookies
These Buckeye Cookies are a creamy, chocolate-covered bliss that will leave you wanting more. The rich peanut butter center coated in smooth chocolate is simply irresistible. Here’s how to make them at home!
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar. Mix until well-blended and creamy.
- Add the vanilla extract and graham cracker crumbs into the peanut butter mixture. Stir until everything is evenly combined. The mixture should be thick and moldable.
- Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make sure to leave some space between each ball.
- Once all the balls are formed, place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes, or until they are firm.
- While the peanut butter balls are chilling, melt the semisweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer. Using a toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, leaving the top part of the ball exposed to create the signature Buckeye look. Return the dipped balls to the parchment-lined sheet.
- Once all the balls are coated in chocolate, refrigerate them for another 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
- After the chocolate has hardened, your Buckeye cookies are ready to be served. Enjoy them fresh from the fridge or at room temperature!
These Buckeye cookies are not just a treat; they’re a lovely addition to any dessert table. Soft, rich, and oh-so-delicious, they are bound to impress everyone who tries them. Happy baking!
