Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup oil
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons sugar for top of cookies optional

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, oil and peanut butter until well combined.
  • Add the cake mix until completely combined.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
  • Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, place the cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Using a fork, slightly floured, press the fork into each cookie to form the "cross hatch" design.
  • Sprinkle a little of the sugar on the top of each cookie if desired.
  • Bake in a 350 preheated degree oven for 10 minutes or just until they are slightly browned.
  • Remove from the baking sheet to cool.
  • Serve with a glass of cold milk because cookies need a glass of milk!

Notes

The extra granulated sugar sprinkled on top of each cookie before baking gives the cookies a nice added crunch.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay soft and chewy for up to 3 days.
You can also flash freeze them on a baking tray for 60 minutes. Then place them in a freezer-safe container or bag. They'll stay good in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
