Jiffy Mix Peanut Butter Cookies

Make these pleasing five-ingredient peanut butter cookies! All you need is a box of yellow Jiffy Cake Mix, peanut butter, and other easy ingredients. 

Every year during the holidays, I stock up on several Jiffy mix flavors to easily make bread and muffins for various meals.  This year, I had several extra Jiffy Yellow Cake Mixes and decided to try making these cookies!  This peanut butter cookie recipe was so easy and delicious that I. might now always use Jiffy Mix when making them!  Jiffy Cake Mix is smaller than most cake mixes so it will make the perfect amount of cookies!

What is Jiffy Mix?

Jiffy is a brand of baking mixes that originated in Michigan in the 1930s.  Jiffy Mixes are smaller than regular cake mixes, usually about 1/2 the size. Jiffy Mix Yellow Cake Mix is available at Walmart and all major grocery stores.

This 1/2-size baking mix works out well for this cookie recipe!  You get about 15 cookies with this recipe, but you can easily double the recipe for more cookies!
