Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeye Cookies
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or using a handheld electric mixer, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, baking soda and salt, and mix until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.

  3. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until well-combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

  4. Add the flour and cocoa and mix until combined.

  5. Scoop the soft dough into about 2 tablespoon-sized mounds onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roll into balls.

  6. Bake for 9-10 minutes until the cookie is set around the edges and has a few crackles on the edges and top.

  7. Let the cookies cool completely.

  8. For the frosting, whip together the butter and peanut butter until creamy and smooth, 1-2 minutes.

  9. Add the powdered sugar and mix on low speed until mostly incorporated.

  10. Add the salt, vanilla and heavy cream and mix until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes.

  11. For the chocolate ganache, place the chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Heat the cream until just below a simmer. Pour over the chocolate chips and let sit for 4-5 minutes. Stir until smooth and glossy.

  12. Frost each cooled cookie with peanut butter frosting followed by a dollop of chocolate ganache.

  13. Refrigerate the cookies or serve at room temperature.
