Peanut Butter Buckeye Cookies
The cookie dough is made by mixing together boxed brownie mix and softened cream cheese until most of the cream cheese is worked in. Melted butter and an egg are added then the dough is scooped out onto a baking pan.
Creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla are combined to form the topping. It is then rolled into balls and pressed into the warm cookies.
Once the peanut butter-topped cookies have cooled, melted chocolate is spooned or drizzled over each cookie.
These cookies are rich and fudgy with the perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter and are always a crowd-pleaser.
