Mixing Bowls | Cordless Hand Mixer | Spatula | Baking Sheet | Cookie Scoop | Chocolate Cake Mix | Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Mix | Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips | Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Candy
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (or substitute Gluten Free Chocolate Cake Mix)
- 1/2 cup oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup peanut butter chips
-If using a Gluten Free Cake Mix, they are usually larger than the standard 15 oz chocolate cake mixes. Instead, please use 3/4 cup oil, so that your mix forms a dough.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.
- Add Peanut Butter Chips: Stir in the peanut butter chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 2: Shape and Bake the Cookies
- Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-13 minutes, or until the cookies are set. They may still look slightly soft in the center, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Perfect Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies
- Don’t Overbake: For soft and chewy cookies, remove them from the oven when they are just set and still slightly soft in the center.
- Customize Your Mix-Ins: Feel free to add other mix-ins like chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even a drizzle of melted chocolate on top. (Also check out Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Candy)
- Chill the Dough: If the dough is too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes before scooping and baking.
