Perfect Peanut Butter Cookies

I have been searching for the perfect peanut butter cookie recipe for quite some time and this is the best so far!

I love softy chewy gooey cookies.  These have a slightly crunch outside but are oh so soft and have just the right amount of sweet & salty goodness!  These are not your typical push down with a fork, crumbly peanut butter cookies.

Ingredients

1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick)
1 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy (NOT natural)
3/4 cup sugar + more for rolling cookies in
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 Tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In the bowl of a stand-mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and peanut butter together until smooth and fluffy (this is an important step). Add the sugars until combined, then incorporate the egg, followed by the milk and vanilla. Gradually add in the flour mixture and beat until thoroughly combined.
4. In a small bowl, put a few tablespoons of sugar for rolling your cookies. Using a medium cookie scoop, portion out your dough and roll each ball into the sugar until coated on all sides. Place on baking sheet, allowing room for the cookies to spread out while baking.
5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, being careful not to overbake. The cookies will look slightly underdone in the center, but they are not. They will set up as they cool.
