Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) Yellow cake mix
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) Butter
- 2 Large eggs
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease them.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, peanut butter, melted butter, and eggs. Mix well until a thick, smooth dough forms.
Scoop out dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop and roll each portion into a ball.
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using a fork, gently press down on each ball to create a crisscross pattern on the top.
Sprinkle a little granulated sugar over each cookie for an extra touch of sweetness, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your easy peanut butter cookies, or store them in an airtight container for up to one week.
