Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s dive into making these scrumptious cookies! First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s nice and warm for the cookies. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, peanut butter, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. I like to use a hand mixer for this step because it gets everything perfectly combined and fluffy. The mixture should be creamy and cohesive, with a rich peanut butter scent that fills the room. Don’t forget to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure all the mix is incorporated! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
