Ingredients
1 chocolate cake box mix
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Glaze
1 stick butter (1/2 cup)
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
6 Tablespoons milk
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet pan with a silicone mat, parchment paper or nonstick spray and set aside.
2. In a medium size bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, add the box cake mix, the peanut butter, oil, and eggs. Mix until all combined. Batter will be thick.
3. Using a cookie scoop, scoop batter onto the cookie sheet at least 1 -2 inches apart. These cookies do not spread much. Bake for 9-10 minutes.
4. While the cookies are baking, make the glaze by adding a stick of butter (1/2 cup) to a small saucepan along with the peanut butter and milk. Whisk together on low to medium heat and melt until combined and smooth. Turn heat to low and add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Whisk all together until smooth.
5. Once cookies are done, remove from the oven and let col for about 5 minutes. Then spoon a dollop of the peanut butter glaze over the chocolate cookies. Allow the glaze to set a bit. It will still remain a little soft.
6. You are ready to devour or you can top with flaky sea salt, crushed peanuts or melted chocolate. These are such an incredibly soft and yummy peanut butter chocolate cookie.
