These soft and chewy peanut butter cookies come together with just four ingredients, thanks to the convenience of cake mix. With minimal prep and no need to measure dry ingredients, they’re an easy way to satisfy any peanut butter craving.
1cupcreamy peanut butteruse no-stir, like Jif or Skippy
2largeeggs
1/2cupvegetable or canola oil
1(15.25 ounce)box yellow cake mixI 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.
