How to Make Crumbl Buckeye Brownie Cookies Copycat

Cookies:

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa, melted butter, and vegetable oil to a large mixing bowl. Beat for 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat till combined.

Place the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl and stir, then stir into the sugar mixture.

Place the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, then roll it into 12 cookie balls.
Heat the oven to 350° and spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Place the cookie dough balls on the cookie sheet and flatten to ¼-inch thick rounds. Bake for 10 – 12 minutes.

While the cookies are baking, beat the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and butter together until well combined. Roll into small balls and refrigerate for 5 minutes.

Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately use a spoon to press a dip in the center.

Cool the cookies for 3 minutes, then add a peanut butter ball to each indentation.

Melt the chocolate chips in a bowl in the microwave and spoon over the peanut butter.

Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks

Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes helps the cookies hold their shape during baking.
Use Quality Chocolate: For the topping, opt for high-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips for the smoothest and richest finish.
Don’t Overbake: The cookies will look slightly soft when you take them out of the oven—that’s perfect! They’ll firm up as they cool.
Customize the Size: Love the oversized Crumbl look? Make fewer, larger cookies instead of 12 standard-sized ones.

FAQs

Crumbl Cookies is known for its rotating menu of gourmet cookies, oversized portions, and a variety of innovative flavors that appeal to all taste buds. The excitement of trying new flavors each week keeps fans coming back.

Store your Buckeye Brownie Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage.

While natural peanut butter can work, it may make the filling softer and slightly less creamy. For the best texture, use a traditional creamy peanut butter like Jif or Skippy.
