I love peanut butter cookies!  They're crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside and they just seem to melt in your mouth!

Here are Peanut Butter Cookies with a twist!  These cookies start with a boxed yellow cake mix and end in deliciousness!

Ingredients

* 1 box yellow cake mix
* 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
* 1/3 cup water
* 1 cup creamy peanut butter
* 1/4 cup shortening or vegetable oil
* 2 eggs
* Granulated sugar

Directions

1. Heat oven to 375°F (350°F for dark or nonstick cookie sheets). In large bowl, beat cake mix, brown sugar, water, peanut butter, shortening and eggs with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.
2. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in granulated sugar and, on ungreased cookie sheet, place 2 inches apart. Flatten in crisscross pattern with fork dipped in sugar.
3. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.

Makes about 54 cookies

Note: You can always add your favorite chips to jazz up the recipe.

If you have a chocolate cake mix on hand, then you have 1 of the 4 ingredients that make up these delicious cookies! They are so quick and easy to whip up, and they disappear almost as fast as you can make them!

My 2 favorite cake mixes to use in this recipe are Chocolate Fudge and Devil's Food.

* 1 package Devil's Food (or other flavor) Cake Mix
* 1/3 cup vegetable oil
* 2 eggs
Granulated Sugar

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix cake mix, oil and eggs in large bowl with spoon until dough forms.
2. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in sugar. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
3. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.

Makes about 4 dozen cookies.

Variation:
*Add a chocolate kiss to the center of each cookie right after they come out of the oven.

* For an insanely indulgent treat, take 2 cookies straight out of the oven and place them over a bowl of ice cream.
