I grew up on the cake box cookies... My mom made them all the time... I'll never forget the first time my wife made cookies... I asked what kind of cake mix she used... That didn't go over too well since she made them from scratch!

Ingredients

12 serv.
  • (18 ounce) box yellow cake mix1
  • cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky. JIF brand is good)1
  • cup vegetable oil1⁄4
  • tablespoons water3
  • eggs2

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Turn oven on to 350°F.

  2. 2

    Wash your hands.

  3. 3

    Dump all ingredients into a bowl.

  4. 4

    Get mixer out and mix it until it is mixed up good. It will look kinda grainy, but feel oily.

  5. 5

    If you haven't washed your hands yet, now would be a good time to do it.

  6. 6

    After it is mixed up good,grab enough out to make about a 1 inch ball in your hand and roll it around in your hand like you did with Play-Doh when you were a kid.

  7. 7

    Place the balls about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

  8. 8

    Get a fork and use the tines to make a criss cross pattern on each ball by gently pressing down on the ball 2 times. Once for each direction.

  9. 9

    Place in oven and bake for 8~12 minutes.

  10. 10

    Remember that the shorter the baking time, the softer the cookie. 8 minutes would be the minimum though (unless you have a one of those fancy convection ovens).
