timesaving tips to streamline recipes
  • This recipe is a pretty great time-saver in itself. If you make this a day ahead, be sure to store baked cookies in an airtight container with a slice of apple or bread in it to retain cookie softness.
  • This makes a fun gift  - just put dry ingredients in a mason jar and add a tag with the wet ingredients and instructions.

We hope you enjoy this simple, time-saving recipe.

    I've never used cake mix for peanut butter cookies, but it seems like an absolutely perfect idea. I'm going to try these! We're big fans in our house.

    You have oil in the ingredients list, but not in the recipe. Is it used or not?

        Hi Tracy,

        I use salted butter, but you can use unsalted if you are watching your salt intake.

    I love this recipe! I used a sugar free yellow cake mix for my husband who can't have sugar. I also added an extra egg and a 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips and baked it in a 9x13 baking dish for 20 minutes. The cookie bars came out perfect!!!! Thanks again!!!!

    This is a great recipe. I added mini chocolate chips and they were great. Also added regular chocolate chips and they were fantastic. Thanks for the recipe.

    My Mom always put a slice of bread in with the cookies and it keeps them soft.

    I’m making these cookies now and I’m wondering if the cookie mix should be fairly crumbly

      August 26, 2022 at 10:11 am

      Yes, they are a little crumbly when ready to bake.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
