Ingredients:
- 1 cup crunchy peanut butter 🥜
- 1/3 cup water 💧

- M&M’s (for eyes) 🍫
- Red hots (for nose) 🔴
Instructions:
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Beat together peanut butter, eggs, and water. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crunchy peanut butter, eggs, and water. Use a hand mixer or a sturdy spoon to blend the ingredients until smooth and well combined. |
| 2 | Gradually add cake mix. Once the peanut butter mixture is smooth, gradually add the cake mix to the bowl. Stir continuously to incorporate the cake mix into the peanut butter mixture. |
| 3 | Mix well. Continue mixing until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and a dough forms. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky. |
| 4 | Form dough into 1-inch balls. Using your hands, roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving space between each one for spreading. |
| 5 | Flatten balls with bottom of glass dipped in sugar. Lightly grease the bottom of a glass, then dip it into granulated sugar. Use the sugared glass to gently flatten each dough ball into a round disk. |
| 6 | Pinch out 2 ears at top of cookie. With your fingers, pinch out two small triangles at the top of each flattened cookie to create the cat’s ears. |
| 7 | Add M&M’s (eyes) and red hots (nose). Press two M&M’s into each cookie to create the eyes, and place a red hot candy in the center of each cookie to make the nose. |
| 8 | Press fork into dough to form whiskers. Carefully press a fork into the sides of each cookie to create whisker marks. Be gentle to avoid flattening the cookies too much. |
| 9 | Bake at 375°F for 8-10 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once heated, place the cookies in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. |
| 10 | Cool and enjoy! Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, serve and enjoy the adorable and delicious Kitty Cat Cookies! |
