Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Peanut butter and chocolate are two of my favorite flavors together... who doesn't love a Reese's cup or TJ's dark chocolate pb cups!! I could literally eat all of them in one sitting. 
I also love peanut butter cookies but hate when they get hard the next day. 
I found this recipe and saw it had milk as one of the ingredients.  I haven't used milk in my chocolate chip cookies before but I thought why not.  At first I only used 1/2 Tbs but when i made the first tray they came out kind of dry, so I added another tbs... which made the dough really wet.  So I stuck them in the fridge for an hour.  
They are so delicious.  I made itty bitty cookies and they are so fun to eat.  Great dunked in milk or coffee!  Give them a try!  

Ingredients:
1/2 cup of peanut butter- I used Jiff creamy pb
1/2 cup of butter-softened 
1/2 cup of white sugar
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/2 tsp of baking soda
1/2 tsp of baking powder
1 egg
1/2 tsp of vanilla
1 and 1/4 cups of flour
1 tbs of milk 
1/2 cup of chocolate chips- I didn't have quite enough chocolate chips so I added pb and white choc ones.

Directions: 
- Mix together butter and pb for 30 seconds.  
- Add the white and brown sugars to the mixture and beat for 2 minutes. 
- Then add in the baking powder and baking soda. 
- Once mixed beat in the egg and vanilla.  
- Beat in the flour- when it's tough add in the milk and mix.  
- Stir the chips in by hand.  

If it is sticky put in the fridge for 30 min - 1 hour.  Preheat oven to 375 and bake 8-10 minutes. 

Try not to eat all the cookies before dinner.  I had to send some to work with the hubby so I wouldn't eat them all!!
