Description
Delight in warm, soft cookies with a rich peanut butter flavor, made easy with cake mix.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of yellow or vanilla cake mix (15.25 oz)
- 1 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Optional add-ins: chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or candies
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine the cake mix, peanut butter, and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Add the vanilla extract and baking soda if desired. Stir until well-blended.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar.
- Place the sugar-coated dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until edges turn light golden brown.
- Let them cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a vegan version, substitute the eggs with unsweetened applesauce. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
