Step 1

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat for non-stick results. If you have a USA pan, there's no need to line it.

Step 2

Mix Brownie Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, egg, cream cheese, and melted butter. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 3

Shape the Dough: Use a medium-sized cookie scoop (about 1 ½ tablespoons) to scoop the dough into a ball.

Step 4

Place on the Baking Sheet: Place the brownie scoops on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.

Step 5

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are set.

Step 6

Make Peanut Butter Filling: While the cookies are baking, mix the peanut butter and powdered sugar in a medium-sized bowl until well combined.

Step 7

Add Peanut Butter Topping: Once the cookies are done baking, let them cool on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes. Then, use a small cookie scoop (about 2 teaspoons) to scoop the peanut butter mixture and gently place it on top of each baked cookie. Gently press down, and the residual heat from the cookie will help make it easier to spread.

Step 8

Transfer and Cool: Move the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Bake the Rest: Repeat the process with the remaining cookie dough until it's all used.

Step 10

Drizzle with Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips and oil in a small microwave safe bowl. Once the cookies are completely cooled, drizzle some of the melted chocolate chips over them.

Step 11

Cool and Enjoy: Let the chocolate drizzle cool completely, and then your delicious Buckeye Brownie Cookies are ready to serve and enjoy!
