Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until everything is nice and smooth. Crack in the egg and mix it in well, then add the peanut butter and keep stirring until it’s all combined. Next, fold in the cake mix just until the dough comes together. Roll the dough into about 1-inch balls and place them on an ungreased baking sheet. Press each ball down gently with a fork to flatten them a bit. Pop the cookies in the oven and bake for around 10 minutes, or until the edges turn golden. Let them sit on the baking sheet for a minute before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
