Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F.

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.

Place the white sugar in a small bowl.

Use a 1 teaspoon cookie scoop to portion out the cookie batter and 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 attempting to remove to a cooling rack or serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cake Mix Magic 🎂
Sift the cake mix before mixing to eliminate any lumps and ensure a smoother, more consistent cookie texture.
Peanut Butter Perfect 🥜
Use room temperature peanut butter for easier mixing and more even distribution throughout the cookie dough.
Crisscross Technique 🍪
Dip your fork in granulated sugar before making the classic crisscross pattern to prevent sticking and add a subtle extra sweetness.
Sizing Secrets 📏
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to create uniform cookie sizes, ensuring even baking and consistent texture.
Storage Savvy 🏠
Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them soft and prevent them from drying out.
