How to Make Cake Mix Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 box (15.25 oz) of your favorite cake mix (white, yellow, or chocolate work great) and 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  4. Gently fold in 2 cups of chocolate chips (semi-sweet, milk chocolate, or dark chocolate – your choice!).
  5. If the dough is too stiff, add 2-3 tablespoons of milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  6. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight for even better flavor).
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Gently press down on each cookie ball with a fork to create a criss-cross pattern.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
