Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) Chocolate cake mix
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, creamy peanut butter, unsalted butter (softened to room temperature), and eggs. Use a hand mixer or a wooden spoon to mix the ingredients until a thick dough forms.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers, as the cookies will not spread much during baking.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set. Be careful not to overbake; the cookies should still be slightly soft in the center.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
