How to Make Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chunk Cookies
In no particular order, place your ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
I started with the cake mix.
Pour in your melted butter.
Add your eggie.
Add your chocolate chips. I chose the mini’s.
YUM!
Time for the Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.
Place 25 of them in a ziplock bag and give them a good smash.
Once smashed, add them right to the bowl.
Scoop onto your cookie sheet.
With your fingers, press each cookie down about 1/2 inch.
Perfect little cookie if I don’t say so myself 🙂 Enjoy!
Chocolate Cake Reese's Peanut Butter Chunk Cookies
Equipment
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 box devils food cake mix
- 1 stick butter melted
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups mini chocolate chips
- 25 mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a large baking sheet with parchment or a silpat liner.
- Â Place all ingredients into a large bowl mixing until combined. I find it easiest to mix with hands. If dough seems too dry, you can add 2 additional Tablespoons melted butter.
- With a medium cookie scoop, scoop dough onto baking sheet placed 1 inch apart. Bake for 13-15 minutes until cooked through. Let cool for 10 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to cooling rack.

Have a great day! Come back soon 🙂
I love cookies made from cake mix. The texture is the best. This is a great combination!
Wow – those sound so good. If I had reeces on hand I would be making them right now – or maybe when the kids went to bed so I didn’t have to share. Can’t wait to try them! Thanks for the great recipes! Susan
My husband would love these! His two favorite things chocolate and peanut butter.
ZOMG! Amazing! Anything Reeses and Im in 🙂
I don’t dare make these or I will hide them from my family and eat them all! They look delicious. You just can’t go wrong with Reese’s.
oh how i hate you for posting this. i am about to have a chocolate attack and hurt somebody at my office if i don’t get some chocolate. hahah. yumm. love cake mix cookies!!! def going to make these!!!
just drooled on my keyboard….seriously
Love cake cookies, It so great to be able to do so many varietys with the same base. and they’re pretty quick too. Really like the peanut butter and chocolate ones
You have no idea how happy these cookies make me 🙂 These cookies are calling my name.
Can I have these for lunch instead of what I brought to the office???
i have seen several cookie recipes calling for cake mix but none look and beautiful as yours. Adding the chocolate bits and crushed peanut butter cups make these cookies absolutely irresistible!
How easy are these? And they look absolutely perfect!!
these are mouthwatering. I can’t wait to try this recipe!
Wow. These look so yummy (but I really didn’t need to see this post at breakfast time). Now all I want to do is eat chocolate. LOL
These cookies look absolutely delicious! And I love the convenience of starting with a cake mix. Great recipe.
The best place to get the Nestle chocolate chips is Costco, so cheap there!
Can you suggest a substition for the Peanut Butter Cups? Im just not a PB fan but would love to make a variation of these.
Try peppermint patties or Rolo’s.
Ok, now we’re talking!! bellesbazaar-heather.blogspot.com
Wow! These look wonderful. I love Reese’s!
YUM! I have it all on hand except the cake mix! Now I know what I’ll be making for Monday’s cookie exchange!

Yum, looks delish!~
You make some of the best cookies! Love these.
Thanks Erin! xoxo
PB and chocolate-always a good choice!
I love how easy the recipe is! The pictures of the raw dough make me positively swoon 🙂
Lol! The raw dough is totally deadly!
This cookie looks so good! And made extra simple with boxed cake mix. Great recipe!
These sound so yummy! I love the cake batter idea. Awesome.
Had to read this title multiple times…because my head was spinning! LOVE IT!
I do have a history of long titles, my sister gives me a hard time for that, lol!
If I made these the dough wouldn’t even make it to the cookie sheet!
I’ve got to Pin this one. Thanks Jenny, I’ll add it to my Christmas baking list. 🙂 Hope you are well in Cali. Are you still teaching Pilates? Take care. Jess

I love the idea of cake mix cookies, so simple yet so smart! And of course you got me with peanut butter and chocolate:-)
These look so good! Reese’s = heaven in a bite. I am also a HUGE fan of peanut butter and banana’s, so I wonder how this recipe would taste substituting a banana cake mix instead of the chocolate? I might have to test this out 🙂
These sound divine! I bet they are really rich too, but that’s okay! I love chocolate and peanut butter, especially Reese’s cups.
Jenny these look so good and I’ve seen other recipes that just call for a box of cake mix to make cookies..and you proved that I MUST try this. And add all those Reese’s…YUM
They look rich, moist and perfect! 🙂
