Creating Ultimate Buckeye Cookies can be both fun and rewarding. Follow these simple steps to make your own batch:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and softened butter. Mix until smooth and creamy.
3. Add Sugars: Gradually add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the peanut butter mixture. Beat until well combined.
4. Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
6. Add Dry to Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
7. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
8. Scoop Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked; this is perfect!
10. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
11. Prepare Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
12. Dip Cookies: Once cookies are cool, dip the tops into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place them back on the cooling rack to set.
