Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
-
In a large bowl, beat together sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
-
Add biscuit mix and vanilla to the peanut butter mixture, stirring until well combined.
-
Shape the dough into 1-inch balls using your hands.
-
Roll each ball in sugar to coat evenly.
-
Place the coated balls onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
-
Flatten each ball slightly with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges.
-
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature or freeze them for future enjoyment.
Tips:
- For an extra indulgent twist, try adding 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and a dusting of cinnamon to the batter for chocolate peanut butter cookies.
- Be sure not to overbake the cookies; they should be slightly soft when removed from the oven as they will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Feel free to customize the recipe by using different types of nuts or mix-ins, such as chopped almonds, pecans, or even raisins.
Enjoy Your Peanut Butter Paradise! 🥜🍫
