Enjoy the combo of peanut butter and chocolate in these simple and delicious buckeye brownie cookies!
What’s your favorite flavor combo? Its hard for me to pick an absolutely favorite, but chocolate and peanut butter is definitely up there. And these buckeye brownie cookies are the perfect way to eat these two flavors together.
Trust me. Peanut butter lovers and non peanut butter lovers alike, I swear everyone will like these simple to make brownie cookies.
Just like our mint brownie cookies the brownie cookie batter is made with just a few ingredients, starting with a brownie mix! And then you make your peanut butter topping with just peanut butter and powdered sugar. And top it with a little chocolate (I mixed mine with coconut oil to help it get hard faster, but its not necessary)
And here we go.

March 16, 2015 at 3:10 PMWhere is the flour mentioned ed when mixing the ingredients. .it’s not listed in ingredients or how much?

March 17, 2015 at 9:43 AMSorry Karen! I made these again, and left the flour out and altered the ingredients. Guess I forgot to take it out of the ingredients too! If you feel like your dough is a little too moist then try adding up to 2 TBS of flour to the mix!

November 13, 2014 at 7:06 PMMade the peanut butter brownie cookies tonight and they turned out amazing. I followed the recipe as outlined but used my hands to mix the ingredients in well in order to make the batter sticky. I dropped dough by spoon but did not flatten much. Just enough to spread peanut butter on top. Thanks from a peanut butter chocolate lover!!

October 11, 2014 at 4:44 PMThese cookies did not turn out! I followed your recipe to a T and am an accomplished baker, not a rookie. In step number 2 when you combine butter, cream cheese, flour and the brownie mix I assume you did not add the other ingredients listed on the brownie mix recipe itself (as I did not). These cookies baked up flat like pancakes. I also baked them on a lined cookie sheet (lined with foil). After two failed batches, I dumped the entire lot and decided just to make regular brownies. I am so bummed!!

October 11, 2014 at 8:48 PMI’m so sorry Trish! You were right not to put the ingredients listed on the back of the box, but I’ll try and figure out if I listed something wrong. Sorry again!
