Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter use no-stir, like Jif or Skippy
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) box yellow cake mix I used Duncan Hines

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix the peanut butter, eggs, and oil until smooth.
  • Add the cake mix and stir until a thick dough forms.
  • Use a 2-tablespoon scoop to portion the dough and roll into balls. Place them on the baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
  • Press each dough ball down with a fork to create a crisscross pattern. If desired, roll the dough balls in granulated sugar before flattening.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
  • The cookies can be frozen in an air tight container or freezer bag for up to three months. Allow the truffles to thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
