Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350*F.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat together the cake mix, peanut butter, eggs, and vegetable oil until smooth and completely combined, about 2 minutes.
1 box yellow cake mix, 2 large eggs, 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup vegetable oil
Place the sugar in a small bowl.
1/3 cup granulated sugar
Use a 1 & 1/2 Tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out the cookie dough.
Roll the cookie dough balls in the white sugar until completely coated.
Place the coated cookie dough balls at least 3″ apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
Use a fork to press down in a hatch-pattern on the top of each cookie, flattening them in the process.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden and spread out.
Allow the cookies to cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet before removing them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Always use parchment paper or silicone baking mats on your cookie sheet for easy cleanup and even baking.
Use a cookie scoop for evenly-sized cookie balls.
Don’t skip rolling the cookie dough in sugar; it gives a sweet crunch to every bite!
The fork’s hatch-pattern not only gives a classic look but also helps with even baking.
If you want your cookies a bit crispier, bake them for an extra 2 minutes.
Have a tall glass of milk ready – these cookies are the perfect dipping companions!
