Cake Mix Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 box yellow cake mix (about 15.25 oz)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sugar (for rolling)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until a smooth dough forms.
3. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
4. Roll each ball in sugar to coat evenly.
5. Place the coated dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
6. Using a fork, gently press down on each ball to create a crisscross pattern.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
8. Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:
Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother dough and classic texture.
Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking helps prevent spreading and keeps cookies thicker.
