Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 Bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 box cake mix we used yellow
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature ideally
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup peanut butter creamy, or you could use Nutella instead for chocolate

Instructions

  • In a bowl mix cake mix with eggs, softened butter and peanut butter. (can add 1/4 cup chocolate chips too if desired) Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to stiffen batter so they don't spread as much when baked.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
  • Scoop out dough with small cookie scoop and you can then roll in a bowl full of 1/3 cup sugar (optional, for best results). Place on baking sheet with parchment paper on top or lightly sprayed with non stick spray.
  • Bake for 8 -10 minutes just until the outsides are lightly browned and are starting to stiffen up. Middle will still appear just a tad wet is the way we like it (so they remain chewy - we stick to 8 min., a bit crunchier should take 10 min.)
  • Take out, set pan on cooling rack and do not remove cookies until they've cooled so they can continue to stiffen up on the tray.
