Peanut Butter Cookies

 Ingredients:

1/2 c Butter - room temperature

1 c Peanut Butter

3/4 c Brown Sugar

1/2 c Sugar

1 Egg

3/4 T Milk

3/4 tsp Vanilla

1 1/4 c Flour

3/4 tsp Bakng Soda

1/2 tsp Baking Powder

1/4 tsp Salt

optional - 1 c Mini Chocolate Chips

Mix together butter and peanut butter until fluffy.  Blend in both sugars.  Add egg and mix for 2 minutes. Add the milk and vanilla and mix. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until blended.
While there are still large spots of flour, add the chocolate chips and mix until the flour is well combined.  Let the cookie dough sit for 15 minutes before scooping onto the baking sheet.
Bake at 375 for 10-11 minutes.  

*Leave the cookies on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes after baking before removing them to a cooling rack.
*The cookies may look slightly underbaked but they will firm up as they cool.
*Resist the urge to eat them warm as they taste much better cooled or even frozen!
