Tips:

  • Make sure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients blend together smoothly and create a creamy, rich texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cookies tough and dry. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. The centers should be slightly soft and the edges should be golden brown.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.

Conclusion:

Buckeye cookie bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their rich chocolate cookie base and creamy peanut butter frosting, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these buckeye cookie bars a try!
