Ingredients
fat-free sweetened condensed milk
1 (14-ounce can)
reduced-fat peanut butter
3/4 (cup)
Bisquick
1 2/3 (cups)
chocolate chips
7 1/2 (ounces)

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the fat-free sweetened condensed milk and reduced-fat peanut butter. Blend them until smooth and well incorporated.
3
Gradually sift in the Bisquick and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. If the dough is overly sticky, add a little extra Bisquick, one tablespoon at a time, until you achieve a manageable consistency.
4
With clean hands, roll the dough into 1-inch balls and then roll each ball in sugar for a sweet crust.
5
Place the sugar-coated balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them approximately 2 inches apart.
6
Using the tines of a fork, gently flatten each ball, creating a crisscross pattern.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers may look soft but will firm up as they cool.
8
Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
