Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a large bowl, beat the sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter until smooth.
- Add Bisquick baking mix and vanilla extract; mix well.
- Shape the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Roll each ball in granulated sugar.
- Place the coated balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Flatten each cookie with a fork.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy, or mix in some chopped nuts or chocolate chips for added texture. If you don’t have Bisquick, you can substitute with a homemade baking mix using all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Make sure to adjust baking time based on your oven's performance for perfectly baked cookies.
Serving Suggestions
These cookies are delightful on their own, but they also pair beautifully with a glass of milk or a warm cup of Hot Choco-Mallo Mix for a cozy treat. For an indulgent dessert, serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream. They make a perfect addition to a holiday cookie platter or a casual gathering.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. If you want to keep them longer, freeze the cookies in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. To reheat, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for a few minutes until warm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use natural peanut butter for this recipe?
Yes, you can use natural peanut butter, but the texture may be different. Natural peanut butter tends to be runnier, so you might need to adjust the amount of Bisquick slightly to achieve the right dough consistency.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are done when they are golden brown around the edges and slightly soft in the center. They will continue to firm up as they cool on the baking sheet. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
Can I add chocolate chips to this recipe?
Absolutely! Adding chocolate chips can elevate these cookies. Fold in about a cup of semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips after mixing the dough for a delicious variation that complements the peanut butter flavor.
