Afterall, there are cookies to be made. So if you want to just get straight to the recipe, go ahead and scroll down.<\/p>\n<p>But if you want to see a couple step-by-step pictures and get your burning questions answered, keep reading!<\/p>\n<h2>What is a Buckeye?<\/h2>\n<p>The Ohio Buckeye or American Buckeye is actually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oldtimecandy.com\/blogs\/candy-blog\/what-is-a-buckeye\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the name of a tree<\/a>. Buckeye candies (those little balls of peanut butter covered with chocolate) look like the nuts of the tree.<\/p>\n<p>So basically, that&#8217;s it. These cookies look so good that I just want to hurry up and make them as soon as possible. So here we go.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Buckeye Cookies<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>flour<\/li>\n<li>unsweetened cocoa powder<\/li>\n<li>baking soda<\/li>\n<li>butter<\/li>\n<li>brown sugar<\/li>\n<li>eggs<\/li>\n<li>vanilla<\/li>\n<li>creamy peanut butter<\/li>\n<li>powdered sugar<\/li>\n<li>milk chocolate chips<\/li>\n<li>heavy cream<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Make Buckeye Cookies<\/h2>\n<p>These cookies have three parts&#8211;the chocolate cookie, the peanut butter topping, and the chocolate topping. You can make the peanut butter topping and chocolate topping last, after the cookies have cooled.<\/p>\n<p>When you mix up the dough, it&#8217;s going to be VERY thick and stiff. It will look kind of crumbly.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11693\" src=\"https:\/\/icecreaminspiration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Buckeye-Cookies-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/icecreaminspiration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Buckeye-Cookies-1.jpg 683w, https:\/\/icecreaminspiration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Buckeye-Cookies-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/icecreaminspiration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Buckeye-Cookies-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/icecreaminspiration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Buckeye-Cookies-1-640x960.jpg 640w, https:\/\/icecreaminspiration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Buckeye-Cookies-1-735x1103.jpg 735w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once the dough is mixed, scoop it out with a large cookie scoop and roll into smooth balls.
