Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter

- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms. If the dough seems crumbly, add the milk and mix again until well incorporated.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the dough and roll into 1-inch balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie as they will spread while baking.
- Using a fork, gently press down on each cookie ball to create a crisscross pattern on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store in an airtight container for up to a week.
