Ingredients

  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ SuperMoist™ chocolate fudge cake mix

  • 1 cup coarsely chopped salted peanuts

Steps

  •  
    1
    Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick baking sheets). Spray baking sheets with cooking spray. In large bowl, beat cake mix, butter and eggs with electric mixer on low speed just until moistened. Stir in peanut butter pieces and peanuts.

    2
    Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto baking sheets.

    Bake 7 to 10 minutes or until edges are set and tops appear dry. Cool 2 minutes; remove from baking sheets. Cool completely. Store covered.

Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    After dropping the cookie dough onto baking sheets, let kids arrange additional candy-coated peanut butter pieces on top of the dough.
  • Tip 2
    Instead of candy-coated peanut butter pieces and salted peanuts, use your favourite small candies and nuts. Try candy-coated chocolate pieces and coarsely chopped walnuts.
