FAQs

Can I use natural peanut butter?
Yes, but make sure it’s well mixed, as oil separation can affect the texture of your cookies.

Why are my cookies too crumbly?
This usually happens if the cookies are overbaked or the dough is slightly dry.

Can I make these cookies softer?
Absolutely—slightly underbake them and allow them to finish setting as they cool.

Can I freeze condensed milk peanut butter cookies?
Yes, these cookies freeze very well. Store them in an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
