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.

Once smashed, add them right to the bowl.

- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 box devils food cake mix

- 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.

- 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.

I just made these and they are absolutely delicious! Thanks for the great recipe!
So glad you enjoyed the recipe Nichole. Thanks for the feedback.
I had to try these. I have to say I am a little disappointed. They are certainly rich and chocolately but kind of dry ( I even added the extra butter). The printed recipe doesn’t include the step of pressing them down to 1/2 inch thick. This is a must do step as they do not spread out as they cook. They will get ate for sure but I don’t know if I would make them again.
These need the extra butter and should not be baked so long. We thought they were good but not great and much too dry.
These look delicious and I did make them, but the directions and ingredients required should be more specific. What size of cake mix did you use? And how big of a stick of butter? The only sticks of butter I have come across are 454g – almost 3 times as much as your recipe called for!
The recipe had a lot more cake mix than anything else (maybe because cake mix boxes come in different amounts), but after everything was mixed, it was way too dry, I had to add another egg and a little bit of water. And 2 cups of chocolate chips would have been overkill! I only used one and it was a lot.
They did turn out veryy delicious though!!
