How To Make The Best Soft Peanut Butter Cookies
If you don’t already have them on hand, get your booty to the store and buy these ingredients. Don’t forget the wine while you’re there.
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup oil
Push the buttons on your oven until you figure out how to preheat it to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or whatever you use to keep crap from sticking to it.
Now, get a large bowl and put everything inside the bowl except for the packaging material and egg shells. Mix all of the ingredients together until well combined.
Wash your hands while you sing “Happy Birthday” twice, and then make 15 even balls with the dough and line them up on your baking sheet. Make sure they look perfect like mine.
Use a fork to do that criss crossy thing and then bake for 10-15 minutes or until they are cooked but not burnt looking.
Enjoy with a tall glass of milk or red wine, whichever you prefer.
