Grab a box of chocolate cake mix to whip up these soft and chewy chocolate peanut butter chip cookies. Swap out the cake mix and baking chips for endless flavor variations!
Ingredients
15.25ouncechocolate cake mix
2large eggs
⅓cupvegetable oil
1teaspoonvanilla extract
1cuppeanut butter chips
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, oil, and vanilla. Mix well. Stir in about ⅔ of the peanut butter chips, reserving the rest for later.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350℉. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Scoop about 1 Tablespoon of dough at a time, roll into a ball, and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Press a few additional peanut butter chips into the top of the cookies, if desired.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the top of the cookies are set. Do not overbake.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool fully.
Notes
Canola oil can be used in place of vegetable oil.
Use a cookie dough scoop for uniform-sized cookies. A #60 cookie scoop holds 1 Tbsp of dough and is perfect for this recipe.
Do not grease your cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray - it can cause the cookies to overspread.
If your cookie dough is too sticky and difficult to work with pop it back in the fridge to chill some more.
