Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Awesome cookies. Cannot stop eating them. You could easily 1/2 this recipe. Or make up all the dough and freeze it- or make up all the cookies and freeze them. Either way, you're gonna eat them all up.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
(makes 4-5 dozen)
1 c. butter, softened
2 c. peanut butter
1 1/2 c. brown sugar, firmly packed
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsbp. milk
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 c. chocolate chips (I used 1/2 milk chocolate and 1/2 peanut butter chips)

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350

Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl. In a large bowl combine butter and peanut butter and beat until it is light and fluffy. Add the brown sugar and white sugar and mix until combined. Add the eggs and mix for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture is well combined and light in color. Add the milk and vanilla and mix again. Add the dry ingredients and mix briefly. While there are still large spots of flour, add the chocolate chips and then continue mixing until the flour is all mixed in. Let the cookie dough sit for 15 minutes before scooping onto cookie sheets.

Scoop the dough onto cookie sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes, making sure to not over bake- it may be hard to tell because they do not get golden brown, but keep an eye on them. Leave the cookies on the sheet for 2-3 minutes before removing to a cooling rack. The cookies will look lightly undercooked but they will firm up as they cool.

They are so good. Too good.
