Just recently I was at a friend's house and she made some tasty chocolate chip cookies. They did not taste like your typical Pillsbury or Tollhouse frozen cookie dough cookies because they were not. Instead, she used a white (or yellow) cake mix and chocolate chips to make them. She said it was so simple, and they were really good!
Later that night, I got an idea. You see, I LOVE peanut butter and chocolate together and thought maybe I should try to create my own "simple" recipe for cookies. I did it, and they were DELICIOUS! I told Mark that maybe I should keep it as my own secret recipe (since I don't have any others), but after making them again last night, I realized they are too good not to share. I do not claim to be Betty Crocker or anything, but here is the yummy (and cheap!) recipe:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In a medium sized bowl, combine:
1 box of chocolate cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
1/2 bag of Reese's peanut butter chips
After it is all mixed, roll the dough into little balls and bake for 9-10 minutes.
(Note: The consistency feels slightly different than regular cookie dough.)
**This recipe makes 3 dozen medium sized cookies.
