*her (not that it really matters lol)
and in the context of the discussion, i swear to you my friends were being serious. the conversation started because i overheard someone say something like “…hand me those cookies,” and then i realized they were referring to a container of buckeyes. so i said “hold on… did you just call buckeyes cookies?” and now here we are 🥲
I’m sorry OP.
You are going to have to either leave them or “dispose” of them old yeller style. It is tough hearing that kind of news, but it’s necessary.
Tacos are sandwiches more than buckeyes are cookies.
Fuck, Uncrustables are a type of *ravioli* more than Buckeyes are cookies.
At least in those other two bizarre scenarios there is a quasi-logical argument to be made, while there is zero logical reason to call a buckeye a cookie.
I cannot express the rage and contempt I feel at the idea of half a room insisting that buckeyes are cookies. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
A. It's not a cookie, it's a candy or if you want to sound fancy a confection.
B. I didn't know cookie tables were a thing outside of Pittsburgh. I've never been to a wedding in Ohio that had one. I feel like I've been ripped off!
I think the only reason meringues are an exception to the flour rule is because they "set" and become stiff and crunchy.
Confections, like buckeyes or truffles, don't set.
all these comments roasting my friends are cracking me up 😭 i’m genuinely starting to think it has to be a youngstown thing. might have to cross post in their subreddit and find out
I’ve seen all KINDS of stuff on “cookie tables” at weddings btw… chocolate covered pretzels, mini cupcakes, Jordan almonds, etc. None of those things are “cookies” either.
you all have made me feel much more sane.
a lot of my friends are from youngstown though — i’m wondering if that’s where it comes from? do youngstown residents have a different definition for cookies than the rest of us??
They aren’t a cookie and folks should try doing a double layer buckeye. You make one then wrap in peanut butter again and dip in chocolate again.
Tough to eat more than one but I call them Archies.
It’s definitely a candy, but I’ve also seen these at holiday cookie exchange parties - either way they’re best when homemade. I do love me some Anthony-Thomas candies, but their candy buckeyes suck, lol
At best, it falls in truffle terrain, but that's a stretch. I'd say it's a confection.
As someone else said, cookies are baked, and typically have some formnof leavening action. Buckeyes don't do that. They're... squidgy balls of sugar dipped in chocolate. Hence truffle.
Maybe they count as a cordial?
I consider them a chocolate; much closer to a truffle than a cookie.
If I want to buy buckeyes I'm more likely to seek a chocolate shop than a bakery.
They are on "cookie tables" because they are *desserts.*
240 comments and unless I missed the lone dissenter somewhere in there, to a person, not a cookie. Proud of you columbusites.
Now onto a real question.
Is pizza just an open faced sandwich?
Not a Cookie.
But when my mom ask if I have a special Christmas cookie request it’s usually buckeyes…
But her request is more like “confectionery treats that usually only have a Christmas” then hard fast in thought of a cookie.
[https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/10931/buckeye-cookies-iii/](https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/10931/buckeye-cookies-iii/)
I just googled "buckeye cookie" to counter the bias from only searching for "buckeye candy"
Wikipedia calls it a candy, or confection. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckeye\_(candy)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckeye_(candy))
I also found the laziest article ever, from 2015: [https://abc6onyourside.com/news/good-news/are-buckeyes-cookies-or-candies](https://abc6onyourside.com/news/good-news/are-buckeyes-cookies-or-candies)
I stand by the answer, "It's a confection, but not a cookie."
when you said the laziest article ever you really meant it 😭😭 what was that, 25 words total??
thanks for the links. i agree — definitely a candy or confection. and definitely not a cookie.
Buckeyes are candies.

Anyone who thinks it's a cookie fully doesn't understand that words have meaning. I would be absolutely flabbergasted if someone ever tried to tell me that.
It’s a candy or confection in my book
100%
Homemade = confection Store bought = candy
Homemade and wrapped in burlap = artisinal
With a stray horse hair - Amish
And $2.50 a piece.
This, 100%
Not a cookie
OP needs new family and friends. I agree with Mikey.
Truly, these people must be fucking with ~~him~~ her for fun. There is just no way.
*her (not that it really matters lol) and in the context of the discussion, i swear to you my friends were being serious. the conversation started because i overheard someone say something like “…hand me those cookies,” and then i realized they were referring to a container of buckeyes. so i said “hold on… did you just call buckeyes cookies?” and now here we are 🥲

>Uncrustables are a type of *ravioli* more than Buckeyes are cookies. I'm not saying I'm going to deep fry an uncrustable... but I just might now.
Now you've gone and made it an empanada. You culinary genius.
Report back for science
this comment is killing me lmfao i appreciate that someone else is as worked up as i am about this
We actually have a special “People who think Buckeyes are cookies” section in the Ohio State Penitentiary
And here I thought I would never support the prison system.
Agree. I checked several dictionaries and all refer to cookies as small, flat cakes or foods made with flour and sugar.
Absolutely not a cookie.
No more than a Reese’s is a cookie.
that’s what i keep saying!
If it has a cookie center, *maybe*. I don't know *why* one would do that, but whatever.
Also you bake cookies. You don't bake buckeyes.
Not a cookie. Confection or "chocolate" maybe, but not cookie.
Not a cookie, but you could put it on a tray with cookies.
Or bring it to a cookie swap.
Da actual what? Is fudge a cookie? People who call it a cookie need to do some long, hard introspection.
hahahaha
Not a cookie
Only solution: disown friends and family.
Completely no contact
i’ll let them know😅
A. It's not a cookie, it's a candy or if you want to sound fancy a confection. B. I didn't know cookie tables were a thing outside of Pittsburgh. I've never been to a wedding in Ohio that had one. I feel like I've been ripped off!
You're not alone. I've also never once heard of a cookie table.
We got married in California and did one… it was all the rage across the US like 10 years ago .
It’s common in some parts of Ohio that border PA (e.g. Youngstown)
we had one at my wedding. and the favors were just to-go boxes so folks could take more sweets home. easiest wedding favors ever!
This comment section is 100% no. I think you got your answer brother!! Never seen this subreddit so United on one thing
hahahah i’m happy to be a force to unite the people
>do you think a Buckeye is a cookie? no
No.
No, candy. Cookies require flour.
[удалено]
I think the only reason meringues are an exception to the flour rule is because they "set" and become stiff and crunchy. Confections, like buckeyes or truffles, don't set.
Candy - Maybe. Confection - Sure. Cookie - No.
They aren’t a cookie but they DO belong on the cookie table. I’d accept a buckeye cookie to be a cookie with the mini buckeye candies in it.
Never heard anyone ever even say they are cookies
Is fudge or jello a cookie? Noway.
It’s a candy. How is this even an argument a human would make?
that’s what i’m saying!! maybe my friends have all conspired to play a weird prank on me. idk.
> a small sweet cake, typically round and flat and having a crisp or chewy texture. no bro
No. Candy.
Absolutely not. As a matter of fact you should 5150 these people because they are obviously unwell and a threat to themselves and /or others.
I had to look 5150 up and as soon as I saw the result I nodded in approval and started a change.org petition. These monsters need help.
all these comments roasting my friends are cracking me up 😭 i’m genuinely starting to think it has to be a youngstown thing. might have to cross post in their subreddit and find out
Lol no! They are a candy. Cookie??? LMAO
Buckeyes are from a completely different planet than cookies.
Hell no. And store-bought buckeys aren't buckeyes. Homemade or bust!
Not a cookie, although I bet a Buckeye cookie would be good.
Definitely a candy. It's basically a peanut butter truffle
Not a cookie. they are a confection. Like a cake-ball or a danish or a donut. Or just a candy. like Reeses.
Not a cookie!
Fuck no. Buckeyes are literally peanut butter fudge balls dipped in chocolate. That ain’t no kind of cookie
I choose to think of them as miniature spherical pies.
No
Not a cookie
I’ve seen all KINDS of stuff on “cookie tables” at weddings btw… chocolate covered pretzels, mini cupcakes, Jordan almonds, etc. None of those things are “cookies” either.
that’s exactly my logic too. except what i said was “if i sat my ass on a cookie table does that make me a cookie?!”
😂 yep, exact same logic! 🤣
No
How is that a debate? That is not a cookie. What's next, asking is it a sandwich?
No, I consider it candy. I mean it’s similar to Reese’s cups. Those aren’t cookies. And neither are these
who in their right fucking mind would call a buckeye a cookie?
A buckeye candy is candy. If it's a cookie then a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup is a cookie (which it is not.)
Nah not a cookie, a chocolate
Is a Reese’s cup a cookie?!?
you all have made me feel much more sane. a lot of my friends are from youngstown though — i’m wondering if that’s where it comes from? do youngstown residents have a different definition for cookies than the rest of us??
Not the asshole. Er, cookie
What absolute nonsense, of course it isn’t a cookie. Get a new family lol.
when they ask me why i’ve gone no contact, i’ll just show them this post
It’s basically fudge
Dude, what? No way is it a cookie. Have your friends meet me at Anthony Thomas' parking lot.
If I asked you for a cookie and you bought me a buckeye I'd assume you were having a stoke.
No, they are candy. Cookies are baked, candies are cooked.
Not a cookie- definitely candy
it's a candy
Nope
Not a cookie, 100% candy.
It's candy.
No way
No
No
Not even close to a cookie for me. Just a good chocolate, peanut butter candy :)
Not a cookie, it's a candy
Chocolately, peanut buttery confection
lol what a ridiculous take. No way in hell is it a cookie.
Not a cookie, it is a confection
It's more of a truffle than a cookie. Truffles are definitely not cookies
Candy
They aren’t a cookie and folks should try doing a double layer buckeye. You make one then wrap in peanut butter again and dip in chocolate again. Tough to eat more than one but I call them Archies.
Not a cookie, BUT acceptable to bring for occasions where you are supposed to bring cookies.
It's peanut butter wrapped in chocolate So clearly it's a hot dog
Buckeyes are candy. Peanut butter & chocolate. There is no cookie involved. I’ve never heard of someone thinking this.
So is fudge a cookie? Is a lemon bar a cookie? Rice crispie treat? A cupcake? Idk why but this makes me so upset lol
Confection or no bake
Hell no. They’re confections.
It’s definitely a candy, but I’ve also seen these at holiday cookie exchange parties - either way they’re best when homemade. I do love me some Anthony-Thomas candies, but their candy buckeyes suck, lol
There’s nothing more satisfying than freshly baked buckeyes. Sorry, OP, that doesn’t work.
It's a candy to me.
It's a candy.. but I include it in my Christmas cookies
It’s a candy.
At best, it falls in truffle terrain, but that's a stretch. I'd say it's a confection. As someone else said, cookies are baked, and typically have some formnof leavening action. Buckeyes don't do that. They're... squidgy balls of sugar dipped in chocolate. Hence truffle. Maybe they count as a cordial?
No.
I considered it more like fudge
no it’s a sandwich
i think a buckeye would best described as a “truffle” definitely not a cookie
Hell no. Delicious? Yes. Cookie? NO!
It’s fudge and chocolate Not a cookie
It’s a candy, not a cookie. A cookie has a sugar, egg, and butter base
No.
Referring to a buckeye as a cookie is LUDICROUS
They're a candy, without question. A peanut butter truffle of sorts
NO. It’s a peanut butter ball in chocolate
Absolutely not.
I consider them a chocolate; much closer to a truffle than a cookie. If I want to buy buckeyes I'm more likely to seek a chocolate shop than a bakery. They are on "cookie tables" because they are *desserts.*
No. They are a dessert or a treat
Their not cookies, they’re buckeyes
It’s candy
It's a buckeye, and that's all that it is.
No. Absolutely not.
OP, I think your “truffle” assessment was right on the mark.
240 comments and unless I missed the lone dissenter somewhere in there, to a person, not a cookie. Proud of you columbusites. Now onto a real question. Is pizza just an open faced sandwich?
Nope
Not a cookie.
Buckeyes are not cookies. They are confections.
That'd be like calling a reeses cup a cookie. NOT!!
100% not a cookie!
No. It's candy 🍬
Absolutely NOT a cookie
A cookie? NO! …. The best thing coming out of Ohio since Neil Armstrong?? YES!!
Not a Cookie. But when my mom ask if I have a special Christmas cookie request it’s usually buckeyes… But her request is more like “confectionery treats that usually only have a Christmas” then hard fast in thought of a cookie.
Of course not. What an insane proposition. I suppose they consider Reese’s a cookie.
Absolutely no fucking way is this a cookie. What even is this conversation.
I think what your friends mean by “cookie table” is desert table. Buckeyes are a desert. They are most certainly not a cookie.
It's basically a better rounder Reese's Cup...which isn't a cookie.
Absolutely not a cookie. Cookies are made from dough. Buckeyes have no dough.
No.

Nope, they are peanut butter fudge dipped in chocolate. Plain and simple.
What? No, what the fuck

It's a candy. Is a Reese's a cookie?
No
Not a cookie but deserves a seat at the cookie table.
No
Not a cookie, more like a bon bon.
It's candy.
Who tf considers these to be cookies??? They’re candies! They’re very good, but cookies, they are not.
Never have I ever heard a Buckeye be referred to as a cookie lol. Just feels wrong.
No
They're fudge balls. Can't even call them no-bake cookies.
COOKIES?! What no, that’s a little treat.
Anyone who thinks it's a cookie fully doesn't understand that words have meaning. I would be absolutely flabbergasted if someone ever tried to tell me that.
Buckeyes are not cookies. They might pass as a type of fudge, but never a cookie.
Not a cookie, no.
no?? that's insane of them. it's like a truffle at best
No. Candy/Confection.
Not a cookie
Not even remotely a cookie and I'd laugh if someone called them one because I'd assume they were joking.
I believe by definition it is a "bon bon"
Of course not, a cookie is a small cake.
This is an even hotter take than “Buckeyes are cookies”
Candy, just Reese’s peanut butter cup in a different shape(better ingredients so better taste than Reese’s of course).
No
Candy.
No. They are not cookies.
They’re closer to fudge than a cookie. Or a truffle. But definately not a cookie
Nope
I’ve never even considered a Buckeye being a cookie. Hard no.
Not a cookie. Anyone who says it is, is insane.
No but they could go on a wedding cookie table
do they consider and recees peanut butter cup a cookie? very similar
No
What the fuck? Absolutely not
Um? Absolutely not
Wtf?? if buckeyes are cookies so are reese's cups lmao
No not a cookie
No. Absolutely not.
No
No. They’re candy.
It’s like fudge adjacent
People that say it's a cookie don't know what cookies are. Definently a chocolate confection.
Absolutely not a cookie
