BEST PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

1/2 cup salted butter, softened

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 T. milk

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 egg

1 1/4 cups flour

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. baking power

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. cinnamon

Cream together butter and peanut butter until smooth.

Add sugars and beat for 1 minute.

Add egg, vanilla and milk – beat for 30-60 seconds on medium-high speed until the mixture is light in color and sugar is dissolved.

Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.

Transfer dough to an air-tight container and chill in fridge for at least an hour or up to overnight.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Use a cookie scoop to form cookies – place on cookie sheet. Then dip a fork in sugar and crisscross the cookie balls.

Bake for 9 minutes. Take them out when they are just barely brown, puffed and just beginning to crack. (They will still look underbaked.)

Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.
