To begin, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Additionally, make sure to line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, oil, eggs, and flour. Mix together using a wooden spoon until a dough is created.
Collect dough using a cookie scoop, and arrange the rounded scoops on the cookie sheet, ensuring a 2 inch gap between each.
Create a hollow well in the center of each scoop of dough by using the curved back of a measuring teaspoon.
Place the pan in the oven and let it bake for 10 minutes.
Combine the peanut butter and powdered sugar, shaping the mixture into 24 small balls, approximately 1 teaspoon in size.
After the cookies finish baking, take them out of the oven and place a peanut butter ball in the well you created. Carefully press down on the ball to flatten it.
Place the chocolate chips in a small bowl and microwave them on high for 30 seconds. Take them out and mix thoroughly, then microwave for an extra 15 seconds. Stir well until all the chocolate is completely melted.
Place a small spoonful of chocolate on top of each flattened peanut butter ball.
Allow the chocolate to set by refrigerating it for 30 minutes.
Notes
Use Chocolate Melts: Instead of traditional chocolate chips, use chocolate melts for a smoother and creamier texture.
Powdered Sugar Garnish: For an extra touch of elegance and sweetness, dust the finished cookies with a light layer of powdered sugar. This adds a beautiful finishing touch and complements the rich flavors.
Preventing Stickiness: If you find that the peanut butter mixture is sticking to your hands while forming the cookie balls, lightly grease your hands with cooking spray or coat them with a bit of vegetable oil.
