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.

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 :)
Weee! Hubby made me buy a bag of chocolate and peanut butter chips, okay he didn’t make me, but I was lost as to what to do with them! I got all the supplies today, I can’t wait to make them! :)
Lauren- I love that idea! You can’t go wrong with more peanut butter goodness :) I’m glad you enjoyed them!
I just made these – they are fantastic! Instead of a 1/2 cup of butter, i did 1/4 of butter and 1/4 of peanut butter which added more peanut buttery goodness :)
Thanks Sara! Easy cookie recipes are my favorite!
Thanks Finsmom! I am so excited to get my popchips! :)
LOL, you’re welcome Lori!
My husband just sent me this link through IM. I guess he wants me to make these. Thanks for the recipe.
My goodness! These sound amazing! I will be bookmarking these to make soon!
I really love the chocolate/peanut butter combo :)
And I sent your popchips out on Monday – you should be getting them soon :) Horray!
ooh, I love an easy cookie recipe, and the fact that it combines my two favorite flavors makes it even better! These sound fantastic!
Thanks Rita!
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!
Triple chocolate AND peanut butter? Be still my heart! I think I need to go bake some cookies.
If these are the ones you brought to work last week…then these are absolutely amazingly delicious! :)
That combo is definitely a winner!!!
Oh, NOW you’re speaking my language! Chocolate and pb is one of my all time favorite combos! These cookies sound a lot like cookies I’ve made before, except mine didn’t use cake mix.
Chocolate and peanut butter is a combination that my husband loves…. These cookies look really nice!
