Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 15 oz chocolate cake mix
Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup butter, room temperature
- ¼ cup oil
Add-ins
- Peanut butter pieces
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to get it ready for baking the cookies.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, oil, and softened butter. Use a hand blender or a spoon to mix thoroughly until the dough is smooth and consistent.
- Form Cookies: Using a small scoop or tablespoon, scoop out dough portions onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly.
- Flatten Dough: Wet your fingers slightly and gently press down on each dough ball to flatten it slightly for an even cookie shape.
- Add Peanut Butter Pieces: Press peanut butter pieces generously into the tops of each cookie dough ball, distributing them as desired.
- Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for approximately 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookie edges are golden brown.
- Cool on Pan: Remove the baking tray from the oven and allow the cookies to sit on the pan for a few minutes to firm up slightly.
- Transfer to Cooling Rack: Carefully transfer the cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature to blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
- Wetting your fingers helps in flattening the cookie dough without it sticking.
- For extra peanut butter flavor, use chunky peanut butter pieces or add a small drizzle of peanut butter on top after baking.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
