Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, creamy peanut butter, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until you achieve a thick, slightly sticky dough.
- Scoop dough into small balls—about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons each. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Press each cookie gently with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers remain soft.
- Cool the cookies on the tray for 10-15 minutes before serving or storing.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days. For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt or crushed peanuts on top.
If the dough becomes too sticky, chill it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before rolling.
