"These cookies are slightly crisp on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. Taste just like your childhood favorite candy... Well.. mine anyway!"

Peanut Butter Candy Cookies Servings – 24 Prep Time – 10 Minutes Cook Time – 10 Minutes Ingredients:

• 1 - 15.25oz package yellow cake mix

• 1/4 cup vegetable oil

• 1/4 cup chunky peanut butter, you can also use creamy peanut butter

• 2 large eggs

Mix-ins or toppings:

1 - 2 cups peanut butter or chocolate peanut butter filled candies such as Reese's Pieces or peanut butter filled M&M's, the amount is up to you if you want to add more than 2 cups. I like to keep a few aside for to place on top before they go into the oven for the WOW factor.

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Stir cake mix, oil, peanut butter and eggs together in a large bowl until it comes together as a dough. Add in your mix-ins, mix to combine.

Form dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on un-greased baking sheets. Place a few candies into the ball of dough to finish.

Bake in the preheated oven, about 6 to 10 minutes, depending on how soft you like your cookies.

Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

"If you love peanut butter cups, you are going to love these cookies. Perfect portion after a delicious meal. Great served with a cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate. Change the color of the chocolate candies to match a theme or holiday, stack in cellophane and tie with a ribbon for gift giving!"
