Buckeyes are a tradition in my family. Yes, we are Ohioans and as a good Ohioan, I know how to make buckeyes. I wanted to share with you How to Make Buckeyes so that you can enjoy them in your home over the holidays.

This is my Mom’s Buckeye recipe.
She always made them every Christmas and I have fond memories of how they would signify the start of the Christmas holiday. Now they are my son Jimmy’s favorite holiday confection.
He really is an equal opportunity holiday cookie and confection eater, but I would say his eyes light up the most when I whip up a batch of these classic Ohio holiday treat.

I only make them for the holiday, so he really appreciates them when they show up on my cookie platter.
They are simple to prepare and last several weeks covered in the refrigerator.
Because they hold up so well they make the perfect holiday gift.

As the picture can attest, you feed them and they will grow!

      I LOVE my cookie press Michelle and the joy of baking pritz, I put sugar sprinkles on right when they come out of the oven to give them a little color. Great for football parties, you can do the two colors of your favorite team:)

    My favorite Christmas cookies are cut-outs, probably because I only make them this time of year.

      Hi Carmen, I think the winner of the most favorite Christmas Cookie is Sugar with icing!
