EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

After dropping the cookie dough onto cookie sheets, let kids arrange additional candy-coated peanut butter pieces on top of the dough.

Instead of candy-coated peanut butter pieces and salted peanuts, use your favorite small candies and nuts. Try candy-coated chocolate pieces and coarsely chopped walnuts.

These turned out great. I used chocolate cake mix, increasing butter to 1 stick, and using only a cup each of white chocolate chips and peanuts (and it was still a lot). Batter was easier to work with once I increased the butter. Very moist. A keeper for a quick cookie mix.

OMG THESE WERE SOOO GOOD!I TOOK SOME STILL WARM TO MY NEIGHBOR AND SHE HAD TO HAVE THE RECIPE ASAP!! I DID CHANGE IT A LITTLE USING GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE MIX AND 1 T. MILK, 1 CUP PEANUT BUTTER CHIPS, 1/2 CUP CHOCOLATE CHUNKS AND 1/2 CUP WHITE CHIPS AND DIDN'T CHOP THE PEANUTS.DID NOT USE THE CANDIES. I UNDERCOOKED THEM A BIT SO THEY WERE VERY FUDGY.

I made these tonight and they were great! Yes they were sticky but, that's what nonstick spray is for. I put the spray on my mixer attachments and my spatula I used to mix it. I also used peanut butter chips instead of candy. I will put half choc chips and half peanut butter next time because I would like them a little sweeter! This was much easier than measuring flour, sugar, and baking soda! If you want to make quick cookies and have cake mix in the house, then this is a recipe for you! I would definitely recommend this! :)
