Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup creamy no-stir peanut butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) box chocolate cake mix I used Duncan Hines
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for rolling

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the peanut butter, eggs, and oil until smooth.
  • Add the cake mix and stir until fully combined. The dough will be thick.
  • Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion the dough into 2 tablespoon balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat.
  • Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Use a fork to gently press down on each cookie, creating a crosshatch pattern.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Leftover cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3–4 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to three months. Let them thaw at room temperature before serving.
  • If using a 13.25 ounce box of cake mix, reduce the oil to 1/3 cup and the peanut butter to 3/4 cup + 1 tablespoon.
