Cake Mix Peanut Butter Cookies

Tonight we were in the mood for making some sort of dessert, but it was getting late so we wanted to do something really easy. We came across a few cookie recipes using cake mix. We decided on a recipe called "Cake Mix Peanut Butter Cookies recipe". The recipe called for yellow cake mix, but since we both love chocolate with peanut butter we decided to substitute the yellow cake for devil's food cake. After tasting the first batch, we realized the cookies were really dry. We decided to shorten the recommended time to 7 minutes. The cookies came out much better, but were still a little dry. We tried 6 minutes on the third batch, which seemed to be the magic number. These cookies are great when a easy, quick dessert is desired.


Ingredients
1 (18.5-oz pkg. devil's food cake mix
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
2 tablespoons water

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Pour the cake mix in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, and add peanut butter, oil, eggs, and water. Mix until well blended. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten slightly using a fork dipped in water.
Bake for 6 minutes in the preheated oven.
