Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a stand mixer or mixing bowl, beat together softened butter, peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Add milk until well combined.

Step 4

Sift in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Using a cookie scoop, scoop balls of cookie dough onto the cookie sheet.

Step 6

Using a fork, press the prongs of the fork into each ball of cookie dough and then repeat by pressing the prongs of the fork into the cookie dough a second time turning the cookies sideways so the prong imprints cross the first prong imprints.

Step 7

Bake the Peanut Butter Cookies in a preheated 350 degree F oven for about 10 minutes or until they are lightly golden brown on the edges of the cookies.

Step 8

Remove the peanut butter cookies from the oven and place on a baking rack to cool.
