Soft and Chewy Peanut Butter Cookies

You Need
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup granulated (white) sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350
In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt then set aside.
Using and electric mixer, Beat butter and peanut butter until well combined. Next add both your sugars and beat until it gets nice and fluffy. Add egg, milk, and vanilla and mix until everything smooths out then slowly add in flour mixture and mix just until blended.
Roll your dough into balls then coat in white sugar before placing on an un-greased baking sheet. you can also opt out of the added sugar and add your cris-crosses here with a fork if you'd like. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Do not over bake, once you see that they've gotten nice and puffy and are just starting to turn a nice light gold around the edges take them out! Over baking is the most common cause for crunchy cookies.
Let your cookies cool on baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. I'm not gonna lie though, a few warm cookies are a wonderful thing! Store your cookies in an airtight container.

These cookies are great for making PB Cookie Sandwiches! just spread your favorite peanut butter or butter cream frosting on the bottom of one cookie and top with another and enjoy!
