Easy Peanut Butter Texas Sheet Cake Cookies Recipe

For the cookies:

• - 1 box yellow cake mix
• - 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• - 2 eggs
• - 1/2 cup oil

For the frosting:

• - 1/2 cup butter
• - 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
• - 6 tablespoons milk
• - 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, creamy peanut butter, eggs, and oil. Stir until a smooth dough forms.

3. Roll the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Gently press each dough ball down to flatten slightly.

4. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

5. While the cookies are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and peanut butter over medium heat, stirring frequently until smooth.

6. Remove the pan from heat and whisk in the milk and vanilla extract. Gradually add the powdered sugar, whisking constantly until the frosting is smooth and creamy.

7. Once the cookies have cooled, spread a generous amount of frosting over the top of each cookie.

8. Allow the frosting to set before serving, or dig in immediately for a soft, gooey treat.
