Peanut Butter Cake Mix Cookie Recipe
Peanut Butter Cake Mix Cookies are quick and easy to make. Simply combine a box of yellow cake mix with peanut butter, eggs, and oil. Bake the dough into soft, chewy cookies with a rich peanut butter flavor. Perfect for a sweet treat!
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon or spatula for stirring
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper (optional)
- Cooling rack
Ingredients
- 1 box 15.25 oz yellow cake mix
- ½ cup 115 g creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup 60 ml vegetable oil
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, creamy peanut butter, egg, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and water. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined and form a dough.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Use a fork or the back of a spoon to gently flatten each cookie dough ball slightly. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Notes
For an extra indulgent twist, I sometimes add chocolate chips or chopped peanuts to the dough. About 1/2 cup of either will give the cookies additional texture and flavor, making them even more irresistible.
