Recipe
These Buckeye Brownie Cookies combine the rich flavors of chocolate and peanut butter into a decadent treat. With a soft, fudgy brownie base and a creamy peanut butter center, they’re perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.
Ingredients:
For the brownie cookies:
1 box (18.3 oz) brownie mix
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
For the peanut butter filling:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For garnish (optional):
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and flour. Mix until a thick dough forms.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are set. Let the cookies cool completely on the sheet.
- For the filling, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth. Roll into small balls and flatten slightly.
- Press a peanut butter disc onto the center of each cooled cookie.
- Optional: Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together, then drizzle over the cookies. Let set before serving.
Notes:
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days. For a firmer filling, refrigerate the peanut butter balls before assembling.

What To Serve With It
When I’m enjoying a batch of these decadent cookies, I like to pair them with something that balances their rich, sweet flavor. The best pairings? A cold glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream—classic but perfect.
For dessert options, try fresh berries or a drizzle of caramel to add contrast. If you’re feeling fancy, a cup of coffee or hot cocoa cuts through the sweetness nicely.
Sometimes, I even crumble them over yogurt for a fun twist. No matter what you choose, these cookies shine alongside simple, complementary flavors that let them take center stage.
