Triple Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
If you haven’t noticed by looking at my dessert page, I personally love chocolate and last week I had a big craving for something chewy, chocolatey and peanutty. These little gems are a result of that craving. I used super moist triple chocolate cake mix, melted butter, brown sugar and chocolate peanut butter morsels to make some of the best chewy cookies I have ever had.
Recently I have heard a few people talk about how they melt the butter when preparing their cookies. I had never heard of that before, most of the recipes that I had read called for softened butter. But after hearing so much talk about it, I thought I would give it a try and I think it is a little trick that I will use from now on.
Triple Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1 stick 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 package triple chocolate super moist cake mix I used Betty Crocker
- 2 eggs
- 1 10 ounce package swirled milk chocolate and peanut butter morsels ( I used Nestle)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Whisk together melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
- Whisk in eggs. Slowly add in cake mix. Mix until smooth, batter will be thick. Fold in morsels.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Make rounded teaspoonfuls of cookie dough and lay them 3 inches apart on the baking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes, cookies will be slightly underdone in the center. Let cool slightly, then transfer to cooling rack to finish cooling, although they are pretty good warm too :)

The Craving Chronicles: Chocolate and PB is one my favorite combos too! There are a lot of these cookies around, I think that the cake mix help adds to the soft, chewy texture that I have come to love :)
Thanks Debbie!
Renee: Yep! They are the same ones. I’m glad you liked them ;-)
haha I know what you mean Mrs. L, such a great combo!
