For the Love of Food

Double Chocolate Buckeye Cookies for the Food Blogger Love Cookie Exchange

Growing up one of my favorite treats were Buckeye candies- decadent chocolate balls with a creamy peanut butter center. These delicious cookies are inspired by the Buckeyes I know and love. They have a brownie like texture and if you love peanut butter and chocolate as much as I do, I bet you can’t eat just one! 
I joined the  Food Blogger Love Cookie Exchange this year to spread a little love this holiday season by exchanging cookies with fellow food bloggers! You are secretly matched with 3 bloggers and you send each a dozen cookies. Then you receive a dozen cookies from 3 different bloggers too. I received Cherry Nut Nuggets from That Recipe, Gingerbread Biscotti from Turnips to Tangerines, and Chocolate Malted Whopper Drops from Sarah Cooks the Books. They were all delicious and perfect for holiday snacking! Ashton even took a plate full to work and they were gone in minutes! 
 Scroll down to see my recipe then visit the link up here: http://thepintertestkitchen.com/2016-fblcookieexchange-holiday-cookie-roundup to see all the other delicious cookie recipes in the Cookie Exchange!

Ingredients:

Makes 3 dozen cookies
  • 1 stick {1/2 cups} butter, softened
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 sugar
  • 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Line 2 baking sheets and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl add flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Mix to combine and set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl add softened butter and brown and white sugar. 
  5. Mix on medium speed until smooth then mix in eggs and vanilla.
  6. With the mixer on low slowly add the flour mixture until combined. 
  7. Turn the mixer off and pour in chocolate chips and gently stir.
  8. Using a small scoop, scoop out dough and place in rows on baking sheets {I baked in batches and filled 3 baking sheets}.
  9. In a separate bowl add powdered sugar and peanut butter.
  10. Mix well {I like to use a hand mixer} until combined.
  11. Using a small spoon or a melon baller scoop out balls of peanut butter and roll into balls in your hand.
  12. Press each ball into the center of each chocolate cookie flattening slightly.
  13. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool slightly before removing to a cooling rack.

🍓 Today is National Pick Strawberries Day. Going to local farms and picking fresh produce is one of our favorite family traditions. We were lucky enough to go strawberry picking at @eckertfarms last weekend. It was the biggest farm we have ever been to and quite a memorable experience! We left with a basket full of fresh juicy berries, strawberry cider and pastries from the market, and soaking wet clothes (but smiles on our faces). I'll share more about the hail storm that hit us in the middle of the field later... ⛈️😨 #nationalpickstrawberriesday #farmfresh  #strawberry #eckerts #farmtotable #farmlife #illinois #springtime #familyfun #eckertfarms #eckertsmemories

❤️This week marks 2 years since our beloved cocker spaniel Dylan passed away. I created this free printable Rainbow Bridge poem on the blog in honor of Dylan. It can be customized with your pet's photo and would be a  cherished framed gift for someone who has lost a special pet. #rainbowbridge #doglove #dogheaven #rip #mydog  #neverforgotten #rainbowbridge🌈
