How To Make The Best Soft Peanut Butter Cookies
Gather the ingredients before you begin so everything is ready to mix. You will need:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
These simple ingredients come together to create wonderfully soft and chewy peanut butter cookies.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to help prevent the cookies from sticking.
Place the yellow cake mix, peanut butter, eggs, and vegetable oil in a large mixing bowl. Stir everything together until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and a soft cookie dough forms.
Once the dough is ready, wash your hands and divide the mixture into about 15 evenly sized portions. Roll each portion between your hands to create smooth dough balls, then arrange them on the prepared baking sheet with enough space between each one.
Use a fork to gently press a crisscross pattern into the top of each cookie. This classic peanut butter cookie design also helps flatten the dough slightly before baking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for about 10 to 15 minutes. Keep an eye on them and remove them once they are baked through and lightly set. Avoid overbaking if you want to maintain their soft and chewy texture.
Allow the cookies to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these easy cake mix peanut butter cookies with a cold glass of milk, coffee, or your favorite drink.
