Cake Mix Peanut Butter Cookies

Recipe #272438 | 22 min | 10 min prep | add private note

I grew up on the cake box cookies... My mom made them all the time... I'll never forget the first time my wife made cookies... I asked what kind of cake mix she used... That didn't go over too well since she made them from scratch!

SERVES 12 , 36 cookies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 (18 ounce) box yellow cake mix

  • 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky. JIF brand is good)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 eggs

Directions

  1. 1
    Turn oven on to 350°F.
  2. 2
    Wash your hands.
  3. 3
    Dump all ingredients into a bowl.
  4. 4
    Get mixer out and mix it until it is mixed up good. It will look kinda grainy, but feel oily.
  5. 5
    If you haven't washed your hands yet, now would be a good time to do it.
  6. 6
    After it is mixed up good,grab enough out to make about a 1 inch ball in your hand and roll it around in your hand like you did with Play-Doh when you were a kid.
  7. 7
    Place the balls about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  8. 8
    Get a fork and use the tines to make a criss cross pattern on each ball by gently pressing down on the ball 2 times. Once for each direction.
  9. 9
    Place in oven and bake for 8~12 minutes.
  10. 10
    Remember that the shorter the baking time, the softer the cookie. 8 minutes would be the minimum though (unless you have a one of those fancy convection ovens).

These were very good especially after my DD added mini Reeses Pieces to the mix.

    I just whipped these up for afternoon snack and they are a hit with the kids. I followed the recipe as stated except I added 1tsp of vanilla. Mine cooked a little longer than 8 minutes, more like 10 and very yummy. Thanks for the easy, tasty treat!
