Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Butter (Room temperature)
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup White sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla (I use Mexican vanilla)

Instructions
    Instructions
  1. 1

    Take the butter and peanut butter and mix in KitchenAid or hand held mixer until creamy and well mixed ~ just under two minutes.

    Be sure the butter is at room temperature. Also, I use creamy peanut butter for this recipe. If using a natural peanut butter, be sure to stir it completely smooth before mixing with butter.
  2. 2

    Next, add the brown and white sugars to the butter mixture.  Mix until smooth.

  3. 3

    Add the egg, mixing until well incorporated.

  4. 4

    Add the vanilla and milk, mixing until smooth.

  5. 5

    Add the baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until all ingredients are well blended.

  6. 6

    Use a spoon or scoop a ball of dough.  Put the dough ball into a small bowl of sugar and roll around until well coated.

  7. 7

    Place the ball on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.  Taking a fork, press it into the sugar bowl (it's okay that only a bit of sugar will stick) then press down on the cookie dough balls lightly, leaving a fork indent.

  8. 8

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes or until the edges start to turn a light brown.  

  9. 9

    Once they are removed from oven, press a chocolate kiss in the middle while they cool.  This will make the chocolate a little melty and more delicious!

Note
  • Be sure your butter is at room temperature, otherwise the butter will clump in the batter. 
  • I use creamy peanut butter, but chunky will work also. 
  • Be sure to flatten the cookie dough ball with a fork to get that "peanut butter cookie" look. 
  • The chocolate kisses are optional, but make the cookie "oh so good".
