cookie dough
Classic no-bake cookies are a staple of my childhood.And they make up the base of these layered Buckeye cookies.
To make my version of no-bake cookies, bring the following ingredients to a boil.
- butter
- granulated sugar + brown sugar
- milk
- cocoa powder
- salt
After the mixture has boiled for 1-2 minutes, stir:
- peanut butter
- vanilla
- quick oats (do not use old-fashioned or steel-cut oats)
I’m guessing this delicious no-bake cookie batter will give some of you great nostalgia.
cookie molding
Scoop about 3 tablespoons of no-bake cookie batter for each cookie and press the cookies onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to give them a rounded shape.
Next, use the back of a spoon or whatever tool you prefer to make a small indentation in the center of each mound so that the cookies look like cute little chocolate nests.
peanut butter frost
While the cookies are set and cooling, make the peanut butter frosting/filling.
It’s super easy. butter, peanut butter, powdered sugar, salt, vanilla.
And it’s creamy and fluffy like air. If you were me, I would give you the following advice. Try not to steal even the slightest taste. Otherwise, you may become addicted and your overall volume may suffer.
cookie layer
Pour the boiled heavy cream over the chocolate chips and let it melt, then whip the ganache by stirring until shiny and smooth. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Place a spoonful of peanut butter frosting in the center of each cookie.
Topped with ganache.
Roll it out neatly in a swirl or leave it rustic and hands free. your choice. 🙂
Chill the cookies until the ganache sets. That is, if you dig right away, you won’t be able to judge from this corner, but it should be noted that they are very tasty even when chilled.
big cookie
These no-bake chocolate peanut butter buckeye cookie culminations are not for the faint of heart.
They are rugged and decadent. But the rich chocolate peanut butter flavor is surprisingly delicious.
My kids love these cookies.😂
A fun new take on no-bake cookies, these cookies are a chocolate + peanut butter lover’s dream!
