Ingredients
- A quarter cup of butter
- Half a cup of firmly packed brown sugar
- One egg
- One jar of crunchy peanut butter, weighing eighteen ounces
- One package of yellow cake mix, weighing eighteen point twenty-five ounces
Step 1
Start off by preheating your oven to a toasty 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), getting it all warm and ready for some baking magic.
Step 2
In a large bowl, grab your trusty electric mixer and cream together the butter and sugar until they become a smooth and creamy dream team. Crack in that egg and give it a good whip until it's all mixed in, then swirl in the peanut butter for a nutty touch. Toss in the cake mix and gently fold it in until everything is just nicely combined.
Step 3
Next, get your hands in the mix and roll the dough into cute little 1-inch balls. Pop them onto your baking sheets without any need for greasing, then take a fork and gently press down on each ball to give them a charming pattern.
Step 4
Slide those baking sheets into the preheated oven and let the cookies bake until the edges turn a lovely golden hue, which should take around 10 minutes. Once they're out of the oven, give the cookies a minute to chill on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your freshly baked peanut butter cookies!
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your peanut butter in a cool, dark pantry to maintain its rich flavor and creamy texture.
- 2. Store your cookie dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to help it firm up and hold its shape when baked.
