Author:Chef Lora
Ingredients
Scale
1 cup peanut butter*
½ cup butter (softened)
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 egg
3 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups flour
¾ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°.
With a hand mixer, cream together the peanut butter, butter, white sugar and brown sugar until blended. Beat in the egg, milk, and vanilla for 2-3 minutes.
Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl.
Add flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture and mix together, just until combined.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Scoop tablespoonfuls of dough and roll into balls. Place cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets (I used parchment paper since my cookies tend to burn on my darker pans). Press each ball once with the back of a fork.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. Don't overcook! These cookies are much better soft and just barely cooked all the way through! Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
