Quick, creamy peanut butter cookies with a hint of vanilla, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings and suitable for all ages, especially peanut butter lovers.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk until creamy.
- Beat in biscuit mix and vanilla until well combined.
- Form dough into 1-inch balls and roll in granulated sugar.
- Place balls approximately 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Flatten each ball with a fork.
- Bake at 375°F for 6 to 8 minutes until lightly browned (do not overbake).
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, ensure the peanut butter is at room temperature before mixing. You can substitute the biscuit mix with a homemade blend of flour, baking powder, and salt if needed. If you prefer a chunkier cookie, add chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the dough. Remember not to overbake; they should be soft when you take them out of the oven.
Serving Suggestions
These peanut butter cookies are delightful on their own, but you can elevate the experience by pairing them with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. They also make a wonderful addition to a dessert platter alongside other favorites like Crazy Apple Pie. For a fun twist, sandwich them with your favorite jam or chocolate spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for a few seconds or warm in a toaster oven until slightly soft.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy?
Yes, you can use crunchy peanut butter for added texture. It will give your cookies a delightful crunch and extra peanut flavor. Just keep in mind that this may slightly alter the consistency of the dough, so you may need to adjust the amount of biscuit mix.
What can I use instead of sweetened condensed milk?
If you don't have sweetened condensed milk, you can combine 3/4 cup of milk with 3/4 cup of sugar and cook it down until thickened. Alternatively, using a homemade version or a vegan substitute can work, but the flavor and texture might differ slightly from the original recipe.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are done when they are lightly browned on the edges and still soft in the center. They will continue to firm up as they cool, so it's best to err on the side of slightly underbaking them. Keeping an eye on them during the last few minutes of baking is important!
