The Boxed Secret Weapon To Vastly Improve Peanut Butter Cookies
BY Mathieson Nishimura
Nothing beats a classic peanut butter cookie, but there’s one way to elevate your next batch even further using a secret tool: yellow cake mix.
The box cake mix provides all the necessary dry ingredients in one place. All you need is a box cake mix, eggs, creamy peanut butter, and canola or vegetable oil.
Use a cup of peanut butter, two eggs, 1/2 cup of oil, and the whole box mix for one batch. Take your wet ingredients and stir them all together until it's smooth.
Next, add your dry ingredients to create the dough. It should be tacky, moist, and relatively smooth with a somewhat crackly texture unless you opted for chunky peanut butter.
Afterward, you can immediately roll it into balls and place them on a baking tray. Bake them at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for around 10 to 15 minutes until the edges are browned.
