Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies


These are quick and easy to get done in a hurry before kids come home from school.
I will say however that they are best right out of the oven, since made with a cake mix these tend to get, well good just not as grest as the day of baking. But oh so good when warm :)

Ingredients:

1 PKG Devils Food Mix
½ C. Butter or Margarine, Softened
1 tsp. Vanilla
2 Eggs (2 T. dehydrated eggs + 1/4 C. Water)
1 C. Peanut Butter Chips (or chip of your choice)

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Beat half of the dry mix, the butter, vanilla and eggs in large bowl on medium speed until smooth. Stir in remaining cake mix, the nuts and chocolate chips. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls (about 2 inches apart) onto cookie sheet. Bake 8 minutes.
