Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (you could also substitute another nut butter or sun butter)
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup water
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
- 42 pieces red mini-chocolate candies (We use the mini M&Ms)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325ºF.
- In a large bowl, mix together peanut butter, cake mix, eggs and ¼ cup water using a spoon or rubber spatula.
- Add more water as needed if dough is too stiff.
- Place ½-cup granulated sugar in a shallow bowl. Then, using a small scoop or spoon, roll dough into 1 ½” balls. Roll ball in sugar and place on baking sheet lined with silicone baking mat or parchment paper or use a non-stick baking sheet.
- Using a drinking glass with a flat bottom, press the dough ball flat with bottom of the glass to about ¼-inch thick.
- To form cat faces, use finger to pinch two ears at the top of flattened cookie dough.
- Add two chocolate chips for the eyes and one red chocolate candy for the nose.
- Use the tines of a fork to form the whiskers on either side of face.
- Bake 7-8 minutes. They will be soft to the touch.
- Cool on baking sheet for one minute then remove to baking rack to cool completely.
