15-20

13-17 minutes

One cup of creamy or crunchy peanut butter. 

One box of yellow cake mix. 

Two eggs 

One bag of miniature peanut butter cup candies. 

One bag of peanut butter chips

Mix the peanut butter, cake mix, and eggs until combined, then fold in six chopped peanut butter cups. Scoop the dough into 1/3-cup balls, place on a parchment-lined sheet, and chill for 30 minutes while preheating your oven to 350°F. Before baking, gently flatten each ball with a glass, top with additional chopped candy, and bake for about 13 minutes until the edges brown while keeping the centers soft. Cool on the sheet for 10 minutes, transfer to a wire rack, then top each cooled cookie with melted peanut butter chips and remaining candy pieces until set.

Keep an eye on the cookies to ensure they don’t get too brown around the edges. Chilling before baking is important, as that will keep the cookies from spreading too much during baking.

I love making different types of treats and experimenting with a variety of ingredients.

Pair these cookies with a cup of hot coffee or cold milk!
