Instructions

- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line one or two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the peanut butter cookie mix and cocoa powder.
- Combine Wet Ingredients:
- Add the egg and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a hand or stand mixer to blend until the dough is smooth (about 2 minutes).
- Shape the Dough:
- Scoop dough using a 1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop to form balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet(s).
- Press and Garnish:

- Bake:
- Bake for 7–10 minutes, or until the edges are set.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3–5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Serve warm or store for later.
- Enjoy:
- Perfect with a glass of milk or as an on-the-go treat!
Notes
- For extra indulgence, drizzle melted chocolate over the cooled cookies or add chocolate chips to the dough.
- Use unsalted butter if preferred, and add a pinch of salt for balance.
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
