- Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, oil, water, and egg until soft dough forms. Shape dough into 12 (2-inch) balls. Place 2 1/2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
- Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Using photo as a guide, frost cookies and decorate with cookie icing, writing icing, and sprinkles. Add peanut butter cup for ornament top. Let stand until set, about 1 hour. Store in airtight container.
Kitchen Tips
- For larger peanut butter cookies, shape dough into 24 (1 1/2-inch) balls. Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until edges are light golden brown.
- Flat baking sheets are the best choice for making cut-out cookies. The flat sheets allow the air to circulate around the cookies, so they bake evenly and become the right shade of light golden brown. Lining baking sheets with baking parchment makes clean up a breeze.
- Store cookies with icing on top in a covered airtight container with waxed paper between layers.
