Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, beat condensed milk, peanut butter, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add biscuit baking mix; mix well.
- Chill the dough for at least 1 hour before baking.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smooth texture, ensure your peanut butter is well-stirred if using natural types. If you're out of condensed milk, you can substitute with a mix of regular milk and sugar, though the texture may vary. You can also try almond butter for a different flavor. Chilling the dough is crucial for achieving the perfect shape and texture during baking.
Serving Suggestions
These Peanut Butter Blossoms are delightful on their own but can be served alongside a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a special treat. They also pair beautifully with our Raspberry Puddin Cake for a sweet dessert spread. Consider serving them at parties or holiday gatherings for a nostalgic touch.

Store leftover Peanut Butter Blossoms in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to three months. To enjoy them warm, reheat in the microwave for a few seconds, or pop them in a low oven until slightly warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use natural peanut butter instead of regular?
Yes, you can use natural peanut butter, but make sure it's well-mixed and not too oily. Natural peanut butter may result in a slightly different texture, but it will still taste delicious. Stir it well before measuring to ensure consistency in your dough.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough feels too sticky after mixing, you can add a bit more biscuit baking mix, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a manageable consistency. Be cautious not to overmix, as this can affect the final texture of your cookies.
Can I add chocolate chips to the dough?
Absolutely! Adding chocolate chips is a great way to enhance the flavor of these cookies. Just fold in about a half cup of chocolate chips after mixing the dough, and adjust the chilling time if necessary, as extra moisture can affect consistency.
