on thursday, it was weirdly overcast and cool. i say weirdly because we've had a mini heat wave going on and the forecast was for 82. when i stepped out to put a donation bag of clothes into Eleanore aka Henrietta Hippo, i felt quite chilled.
baking was in order. cookie baking. peanut butter cookie baking...with a cake mix as i was feeling too lazy to pull out measuring cups and such.
*1 box white or yellow cake mix
*1 cup peanut butter
*2 eggs
*1/4 c milk
*chocolate chips (optional)
preheat oven to 350 F. mix up ingredients and add yer chips.
drop by the spoonful onto your cookie sheet (the dough will be super sticky). sprinkle with a smidge of sugar and press the tines of a fork into the tops to create that peanut butter cookie look. you do not have to flatten or smoosh, they bake just fine as a puff ball and do not spread much at all.
bake 10-12 minutes, wait a smidge to cool and enjoy with a cold glass of your favorite milk beverage.
**i think next time i will add more peanut butter, salted peanuts and milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet and less of them at that.
Are these as dense and solid as traditional peanut butter cookies or are they softer like a cake cookie?
ReplyDeleteHi Jules! These are cakey and actually taste better the second day. Not so bad the fourth day either...i prefer a denser chewy cookie but these work in a pinch and are crazy easy to make.
DeleteThis looks so yummy, I'm going to try it today!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Did you bake them, what did you think?
DeleteI literally yelled out loud when I saw the title of this post.
ReplyDeleteI was all "WHAT?!" and the mister was all "everything ok in there?".
It will be as soon as I make these cookies!
too funny! and thank you!
DeleteJust tried these. They were delish! I added a cup and a half of peanut butter. My husband loved them, too!
ReplyDeleteyay! mister thought more peanut butter would make em better. so glad to know that it works. thank you!
DeleteI used to make these many years ago and I lost the recipe! Thank you soooooo much for posting. My husbands favorite cookie!
ReplyDeleteyay! is it the same one? i hope he and you enjoy them! thanks.
DeleteThese cookies are delicious. I think they stay "fresher" longer than most cookies I make. I shared them w/ my mom & she thought they were the best cookies she's ever eaten!
ReplyDeleteOh yes! We took them on a mini road trip and I forgot we had a bag in the car and three days later they were still delicious! Yay!
ReplyDeleteThese cookies are great! I used one cup of Smuckers natural creamy peanut butter, which is very moist, and two huge eggs and they were perfect! Only one problem, I'd love to pin a link to your post but can't get it to "stick", only the picture, no link :( Could you add a pin it button to this?
ReplyDeletehi julie! it should stick as i have pinned it myself along with a zillion others. i wish i was more tech savvy so i could add a pin it button. drats!
