Ingredients
- 17.5 ounces peanut butter cookie mix (1 bag/box)
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 large egg
- 5 tablespoons salted butter melted (⅝ stick)
- granulated sugar optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line one or two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Whisk the cookie mix and cocoa powder together in a large mixing bowl.
- Using a hand mixer, beat in the egg and melted butter until the dough is smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Using a 1½-tablespoon cookie portion scoop, make balls of dough and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet(s).
- Use a fork to gently press a criss-cross pattern into the top of the cookies but don’t squash them totally flat.
- Sprinkle each cookie with a little sugar, optional, and then bake for 7-10 minutes, or just until the edges are set.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 3-5 minutes on the baking sheet before removing to a cooling rack or serving warm.
