Ingredients
Scale
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon milk (adjust for consistency)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for drizzling, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined. The mixture should be glossy and slightly thick.
Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Pour in the vanilla extract and mix until it’s all beautifully blended.
In another bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
In a medium bowl, mix the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and creamy.
Scoop a tablespoon of brownie batter onto your prepared baking sheet, create a small indent in the center, and use another spoonful of the peanut butter mixture to fill it. Top with another tablespoon of brownie batter to cover the filling.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are set. Let them cool before transferring to a wire rack.
If using chocolate chips, melt them and drizzle over the cooled cookies.
Notes
These Buckeye Brownie Cookies perfectly blend nostalgic brownie goodness with the irresistible flavor of buckeyes – the classic Ohio treat made of creamy peanut butter and chocolate.
