Peanut Butter Cookies

Creamy classic peanut butter cookies rolled in sugar and baked to perfect.

So I've been making this peanut butter cookie recipe since I was about 15 years old. They're definitely a classic in our house and a personal favorite since I'm a huge fan of peanut butter... I mean who isn't.

These peanut butter cookies definitely take things up a notch by adding a splash of milk to the recipe. They're a timeless classic that your friends and family will keep asking for.

Let's get to it.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, room temperature

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 tbsp milk (add this at the very end to make your dough extra creamy)

1/2 cup granulated sugar, for rolling the dough in

7. Form the dough into about a 1 1/2 tbsp ball and roll in granulated sugar until fully coated. Place the cookie dough balls onto the lined cookie tray evenly spaced.

8. Press a fork fork gently into the cookie dough balls to form a criss cross in the dough.

10. Let the cookies sit on the tray for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
