Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (substitute with another nut butter or sun butter if needed)
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup water
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
- 42 pieces red mini-chocolate candies (like mini M&Ms)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- In a large bowl, mix together peanut butter, cake mix, eggs, and water using a spoon or rubber spatula. Add more water if the dough is too stiff.
- Place sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll dough into 1 ½-inch balls, coat with sugar, and place on a lined baking sheet.
- Flatten dough balls to ¼-inch thickness using the bottom of a drinking glass.
- Pinch two ears at the top of each cookie to form cat faces.
- Add chocolate chips for eyes and a red candy for the nose.
- Use a fork to create whiskers on both sides of the face.
- Bake for 7-8 minutes until soft to the touch.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter.
