This week I am sharing recipes that are all made using a cake mix. These recipes are great to get the kids involved in the kitchen or for when you need an easy treat. Today is a simple peanut butter cake mix cookies recipe.
I actually made these cookies with my middle son. Peanut butter cookies are always a hit at my house and these were so fast to make. You can always dress them up by dipping them halfway in melted chocolate or make cookie sandwiches with them. Just mix up some PB frosting to go in the middle.
One reason I love to make things using cake mixes is they always turn out soft and moist! These peanut butter cake mix cookies were both, just make sure to not over cook them or they will be crisp.
All you need to do is mix a yellow cake mix with some peanut butter, oil, and eggs. Then it’s just like regular peanut butter cookies. Roll the dough into balls and then flatten with a fork to get that classic crisscross pattern on the cookie.
