To make this yummy treat, you will need the following ingredients:

1 can (14 oz.) low fat sweetened condensed milk

3/4 cup reduced fat peanut butter

1/4 cup fat free egg substitute

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/4 cup reduced fat biscuit mix

1/4 cup sugar

 

Directions:

Mix the milk, peanut butter, egg substitute and vanilla with a mixer on a low setting until smooth. Add the biscuit mix and blend well. Cover and chill for at least 3 hours.

Preheat your oven to 350. Drop the dough by teaspoonful 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet coated with nonstick spray. Sprinkle with sugar and bake the cookies until lightly browned about 6-8 minutes.

Hope you enjoy these yummy cookies!
