Cake Mix Peanut Butter Cookies
Perfectly rich, moist, and decadent Cake Mix Peanut Butter Cookies are a fast and easy recipe for busy nights crying out for comfort food. These bake up so quickly, and you literally only have two things that require measuring.
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 15.25 ounce box yellow cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer bowl or large bowl, add the 15.25 ounce box yellow cake mix, 2 large eggs, and ½ cup vegetable oil. Beat in the stand mixer or with a hand mixer on medium speed until completely combined.
- Add in the 1 cup creamy peanut butter. Beat until well incorporated into the dough.
- Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the cookie dough out and roll it into a ball using your hands.
- Using a fork, gently press down to flatten the top of the ball. Form a “+” or crisscross pattern with the fork. If the cookie dough sticks to the fork, dip the fork in granulated sugar and then press down into the cookie balls.
- Place each cookie 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Place in the heated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the bottom edges are golden.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet and then transfer to a cooling rack or paper towels to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 to 5 days.
