4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
These are some of the easiest peanut butter cookies I’ve ever made. And a total new favorite. And in writing Peanut Butter Comfort, I’ve made one or a bazillion peanut butter cookies. These 4-ingredient peanut butter cookies are super soft, very moist, and extremely chewy. As a bonus, these peanut butter cookie accidentally contain no egg. The peanut butter cookies are packed with rich, bold, peanut butter flavor. If you’re looking for very peanut buttery cookies, try these. I loved the cookies and couldn’t stop nibbling on them. The old-fashioned crisscross fork patterns, crinkles, and crevices just lure me in. The cookies are a tiny bit oily, but just think of all those healthy fats you’re getting from the peanut butter. I kept telling myself that as I was pulling off crinkly chunk after chunk. Beyond good. Perfect, actually.
Ingredients in 4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
These 4-ingredient cookies are widely different than anything I’ve ever tried. It’s a one-bowl, no-mixer recipe that happens to be egg-free, butter-free, uses no brown or granulated sugar, and uses an ingredient you’d never guess: Original Bisquick™ mix. Think of it as a 1-1-1-1 recipe. Combine the following:
1 cup peanut butter 1 can sweetened condensed milk 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 cup Bisquick
You’d never suspect that these are Bisquick peanut butter cookies, nor that they’re eggless — just wait until you tell someone as they’re biting down into a cookie that said cookie is made with pancake mix. The look on their face is priceless!
How to Make Peanut Butter Cookies with Bisquick
It’s SO easy to make peanut butter cookies with 4 ingredients. Follow these simple instructions:
Make-Ahead Instructions
You can make the cookies in advance, or what I like to do is mix up the dough and keep it chilling in the fridge for up to 5 days before baking or it keeps in the freezer for months. Then, when you’re ready for totally oven-fresh cookies, pop a few dough balls in the oven and bake.
Tips for Making 4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
Bake time: Note that these peanut butter cookies take a few minutes longer than most cookies to bake. I suspect that’s because it’s a very moist dough from the peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk. Vanilla extract: Some readers have commented that 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract seems like a lot — you’re welcome to scale back the amount of vanilla you add to these cookies, if desired. I like a bold vanilla flavor and always add at least 2 teaspoons to any baked good. But add a little less if you prefer less vanilla. Mix-ins: These peanut butter Bisquick cookies are perfect as is, but you’re welcome to add 1/2 cup of any mix-in you’d like, such as chocolate chips, chopped nuts, etc. Or, press a Hershey’s Kiss into the center of the cookies while they’re still warm!
