Instructions
Making Ultimate Buckeye Cookies is a simple process that requires only a few steps. Follow these instructions to create your delicious cookies:
1. Mix Peanut Butter Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, softened unsalted butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
2. Form Cookie Balls: Use your hands to roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Chill the Balls: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the peanut butter balls are firm.
4. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and fully melted.
5. Coat the Balls: Remove the chilled peanut butter balls from the refrigerator. Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate before placing them back on the baking sheet.
6. Cool and Set: Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature, or refrigerate for about 15 minutes until firm.
7. Serve: Enjoy your Ultimate Buckeye Cookies fresh or store them in an airtight container for later.
