Buckeyes are my absolute favorite Christmas cookie and always take me back to being a kid, when I would sneak them out of my aunt’s kitchen. The perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter, resembling a buckeye exactly, these cookies are (in my opinion) the ultimate Ohio Christmas cookie.
Ingredients:
1 (12 oz jar) creamy peanut butter
16 oz bag of powdered sugar
2 sticks softened butter
12 ox bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
Combine peanut butter, powdered sugar and butter in a bowl. Mix well. Form mixture into small, round balls and allow to chill.
Use a double boiler to melt chocolate chips
Use a toothpick to dip each ball into the melted chocolate, cover ¾ of the ball, leaving a small round eye, at the top. Cool atop wax paper.
