Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a stand mixer bowl, cream together the softened butter and peanut butter using the paddle attachment.
Add brown and granulated sugars, mixing until fully combined.
Incorporate the egg, milk, and vanilla extract into the mixture.
Blend in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
Shape the dough into balls, noting that this is a soft dough.
Roll each dough ball in additional granulated sugar for added sweetness.
Arrange the cookie dough balls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Use a fork to gently flatten each ball of dough, creating a crisscross pattern.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges turn brown, but avoid overbaking; they should appear slightly underbaked.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

For chewier cookies, do not overbake them. They will finish cooking as they cool.
Make sure your butter is softened for a smooth dough texture.
For added flavor, consider mixing in chocolate chips or nuts.
