Cake Mix Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies

I love a good cookie exchange but this time of year is so busy that I’m thankful for recipes like this Cake Mix Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies recipe. I’ve been on a cake mix cookie kick lately with these thin mint knock offs and lemon white chocolate cookies but these Peanut butter cup ones are for sure my favorite!

This recipe is crazy easy and the cookies are super yummy. These are perfect for those December weeks when you want fresh baked cookies but have one billion activities and responsibilities to take care of.

That said these would be super yummy any time of year. I made a batched today at the same time that I made dinner. They are as fast and easy as making a box of brownies but definitely with a little special touch

Ingredients

• 1 Box Devil Food Cake Mix (I used this one)
• 1/3 C vegetable oil
• 2 Eggs
• 3/4 C Butterscotch Chips
• 40 (ish) Peanut Butter Cups

Directions

1. Mix together everything except the butterscotch chips.
2. Once combined stir in the butterscotch chips.
3. Drop onto a cookie sheet in 1 inch scoops. Keep it small these spread a lot!
4. Bake at 350F for 8-10 minutes.
5. Remove from oven and immediately top each with an unwrapped peanut butter cup.
6. The heat from the cookie should melt the chocolate and when it does take a knife and smoosh it down to make the marbled look. If your cups don’t get spreadable you can pop the cookie sheet back in the oven for a minute.
