Buckeye Cookies
Buckeye Cookies
Buckeye Cookies are a delicious treat made with a peanut butter filling coated in chocolate, resembling the nut of the buckeye tree. They are a popular dessert, especially around the holidays.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Roll the peanut butter mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable shortening in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Using a toothpick or fork, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, leaving a small portion uncovered to resemble the buckeye nut. Place back on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the cookies for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- Enjoy!
