Categories     Cookies

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 can(s) 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
3/4 to 1 c peanut butter
2 c bisquick
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Blend peanut butter and milk until creamy. Add vanilla. You may use up to 1 cup of peanut butter if you like.
  • 2. Slowly stir in bisquick until blended well.
  • 3. Shape into 1 1/2" balls, place on cookie sheet and press down with large fork. (I use a carving set/fork) Bake at 375* for 6-8 minutes or until centers are set, but do not over cook! We want soft & chewy! ;)
  • 4. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter: Creamy peanut butter will give you a smoother cookie dough and a more consistent cookie. If you only have chunky peanut butter, you can use it, but be sure to chop the peanuts very finely before adding them to the dough.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape better and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven. You can chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The ideal temperature is 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overbake the cookies: Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies for just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack: Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before storing them. This will help them stay crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.

Conclusion:

These soft and chewy peanut butter cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're easy to make and always a hit with kids and adults alike. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying snack, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
