Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 15.25 ounce yellow cake mix (1 box)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set them aside.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, peanut butter, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and form a dough.
  3. Form and Sugar Coat Dough Balls: Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the granulated sugar evenly, then place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  4. Criss-Cross Pattern: Using a fork, press down gently on each cookie ball to flatten slightly, creating a criss-cross pattern on top.
  5. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden around the edges.
  6. Cool Cookies: Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set perfectly.

Notes

  • Ensure you space the cookie dough balls properly to prevent sticking and allow for even baking.
  • Use creamy peanut butter for the best texture; natural peanut butter might change the consistency slightly.
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • For a richer flavor, you can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter.
  • If you prefer chunky peanut butter, the cookies will have added texture.
