After all the buckeyes we had to eat before the Canfield Fair I wasn't sure if my family would be ready for more by Christmas. Oh, they were ready. You're going to make us buckeyes, right? There'll be enough left for us too, right?
Yes, yes there'll be plenty for you too! They'll be plenty if you keep your little fingers out of the peanut butter filling! The hardest part of cooking with my family is keeping them away from the dough. A recipe may say it yields three dozen cookies, but leave the kitchen one minute and that same recipe only makes a dozen and a half. Funny how those things happen.
My sister is the worst when it comes to the buckeyes. She'll be glued to my hip, licking the spatula, taking spoonfuls of peanut butter, and "sneaking" the rolled balls from the freezer. Really, I don't notice the missing four or five balls on a sheet that was once full.
You'd think I only make these once a year or something! Some things have to be kept for special occasions. Maybe if I put the recipe up they'll start making them themselves...
