Peanut Butter Cookies!

First off, I’m calling it Spring now, even though the calander says otherwise. If the weather is warm and the Texas Mountain Laurel is in bloom then it’s spring

Secondly, these cookies are fantastic! I got the recipe from alaskafromscratch.com so this isn’t my own recipe haha.

Perfect Peanut Butter Cookies

Yields:
About 2 dozen cookies
1-1/4c all-purpose flour
3/4t baking soda
1/2t baking powder
1/4t salt
1/2c butter, softened
1c peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, your preference)
3/4c sugar + more for rolling cookies
1/2c firmly packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1T milk
1t vanilla
Preheat oven to 350. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand-mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and peanut butter together until smooth and fluffy. Add the sugars until combined, then incorporate the egg, followed by the milk and vanilla. Gradually add in the flour mixture and beat until thoroughly combined.

In a small bowl, put a few tablespoons of sugar for rolling your cookies. Using a medium cookie scoop, portion out your dough and roll each ball into the sugar until coated on all sides. Place on baking sheet, allowing room for the cookies to spread out while baking.

Bake for 10-12 minutes (mine were perfect at 11), being careful not to overbake. The cookies will look slightly underdone in the center, but they are not. They will set up as they cool.
