    FAQs

    What is the best peanut butter to use for these cookies?

    I prefer to use a natural, unsweetened peanut butter for these cookies. But you can really use any kind of peanut butter that you like.

    Do I need to refrigerate the dough before baking?

    No, you don’t need to refrigerate the dough before baking. Just scoop it into balls and press down slightly with a fork.

    Can I freeze the cookie dough?

    Yes, you can freeze the cookie dough. Just scoop it into balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 1-2 hours, or until solid. Then transfer to a freezer-safe bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven and bake the cookies as directed. There’s no need to thaw the dough first!

    I don’t have condensed milk. Can I use something else?

    You can use honey or agave nectar in place of the condensed milk. Or, you can make your own condensed milk by boiling milk and sugar together until it’s reduced by half. Let it cool completely before using in this recipe.

    My cookies turned out dry and crumbly. What did I do wrong?

    There are a few things that could cause this:

    -You didn’t measure the ingredients correctly. Make sure you measure both the peanut butter and condensed milk accurately.

    -Your oven temperature is too high. These cookies should be baked at a low temperature to prevent them from drying out.

    -You baked the cookies for too long. These cookies only need 10-12 minutes in the oven. Any longer and they will be dry and crumbly.

    -Your peanut butter is too dry. If your peanut butter is really thick and dry, it can make the cookies turn out dry and crumbly. Try using a natural, unsweetened peanut butter for best results.

    My cookie dough is too crumbly. What can I do?

    If your dough is too crumbly, simply add more condensed milk until it comes together. You can also try adding 1-2 tablespoons of water (or milk) to the dough.

    Can I use a different kind of nut butter?

    Yes, you can use a different kind of nut butter in place of the peanut butter. Just keep in mind that the flavor of the cookies will change depending on the type of nut butter you use.

    My cookies are too flat. How can I prevent this?

    There are a few things that could cause this:

    -Your oven temperature is too low. These cookies should be baked at a low temperature to prevent them from spreading too much.

    -You didn’t measure the ingredients correctly. Make sure you measure both the peanut butter and condensed milk accurately.

    -You used an electric mixer to cream the peanut butter and condensed milk together. Be sure to mix by hand to avoid overmixing.

    -You pressed the cookie dough too flat before baking. Be sure to press the dough into balls and slightly flatten with a fork before baking.

    Can I add chocolate chips to these cookies?

    Yes, you can add chocolate chips to these cookies. Just stir in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips after creaming the peanut butter and condensed milk together.

    Do I need to use an electric mixer for this recipe?

    No, you don’t need to use an electric mixer for this recipe. Just cream the peanut butter and condensed milk together by hand until combined.

    Are there bugs in peanut butter?

    No, there are no bugs in peanut butter. The “bugs” you may see in some types of peanut butter are actually fragments of the peanut shell. These pieces are perfectly safe to eat and don’t indicative of an infestation.

    How many ounces of peanut butter are in a cup?

    There are 16 ounces in a cup. So, if a recipe calls for 1 cup of peanut butter, you would need 16 ounces of peanut butter.

    Is peanut butter a condiment?

    No, peanut butter is not a condiment. It is classified as a spread because it is generally used in the same way as jams and jellies.

    Can pregnant woman drink condensed milk?

    Pregnant women can drink condensed milk as long as it is pasteurized. Pasteurized condensed milk has been heated to kill any harmful bacteria that could potentially cause food poisoning.
