How to make Bisquick peanut butter cookies
Follow these steps to make the cookies. A printable recipe card is available if you prefer to save or print the instructions.
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter until smooth. You can use a mixer on low speed if you prefer.
4. Add the Bisquick baking mix and vanilla, folding until a soft peanut butter cookie dough forms.
5. Pour about a cup of granulated sugar into a small bowl.
6. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, form dough into balls. Roll each ball in the sugar and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for about 10 minutes, until the edges are golden. The bottoms may be slightly darker—this is normal.
8. Immediately press a peanut butter heart candy into the center of each warm cookie. Let the cookies cool on the pan for 2 minutes so the candy softens and sets. If the cookies crack when you press the candy down, that’s okay—that’s part of their charm.
9. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling, then enjoy.
Variations
This is a fun variation on the classic peanut butter blossom that usually features Hershey’s Kisses. Here are a few ways to customize the cookies:
- Roll the dough in pink or red sugar crystals for extra Valentine’s flair.
- Use mini peanut butter cups or other candies instead of heart shapes.
- Drizzle melted white or pink chocolate over the cooled cookies for decoration.
- Try dark chocolate hearts for a richer flavor.
Storing tips
Store cookies at room temperature in an airtight container or zip-top bag for 3–5 days.
To prepare dough ahead, roll the cookie dough into sugar-coated balls, arrange them on a baking sheet, and freeze. Once frozen, transfer the dough balls to an airtight container and keep them in the freezer for several months.
When ready to bake, thaw the dough balls overnight in the refrigerator, then bake according to the instructions above.
