- ½ cup oil
- 2 large eggs

- Use a medium cookie scoop (1 ½ tablespoons) to scoop out balls of cookie dough and roll them between your palms until smooth. Place the cookie dough balls on the parchment-lined cookie sheets about 2 inches apart, and gently press a fork on top of the balls to form a crisscross pattern.
- Bake the cookies, one cookie sheet at a time, for 10-12 minutes or until they start to brown around the edges, but they are still soft in the center.
- Let the cookies rest on the cookie sheets for about 15 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 4 days.
Notes
Storage :
- Store: Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- Refrigerator: Store in the fridge for up to 7 days; bring to room temp before serving.
- Freeze: Freeze in a gallon bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then bring to room temp.
- Make ahead: Prepare dough balls and freeze them. Bake straight from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the bake time.
- Use yellow cake mix for a sweeter cookie, or white cake mix for a lighter taste.
- Stick with creamy peanut butter for the best texture.
- Chill dough for 20 minutes if it feels sticky.
- Use a 1 ½ tablespoon scoop for evenly sized cookies.
- For very soft cookies, pull them out at 10 minutes - they will firm up as they cool.
