Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cake Mix Cookies Recipe

1 (18.25 ounce) package of yellow cake mix
1 1/4 cups crunchy peanut butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, softened
2 large eggs
2 cups milk chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper for best results. Alternatively use ungreased cookie sheets.
In a large bowl beat the dry cake mix, peanut butter, brown sugar, butter, and eggs with an electric mixer on medium speed until well-blended and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
Stir in the chocolate chips with the mixer on low speed or with a wooden spoon, just until combined.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls approximately 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 9 to 12 minutes, or just until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Remove from the oven and cool the cookies on the cookie sheet for about 1 minute and then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
