Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Really can you go wrong with peanut butter AND chocolate chips? I say, no, no you cannot!



1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar or 1/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 to 1 tablespoon milk (add this at the very end just to make dough smooth and creamy)
1/2 to 1 cup milk chocolate chocolate chips

In a large mixing bowl beat butter and peanut butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for until creamy, about 30-40 seconds. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and baking powder, beat until combined. Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined. Beat in four. Add milk from 1/2 Tablespoon to 1 Tablespoon just enough to make the dough moist and creamy. Add chocolate chips and mix till just incorporated.  If necessary, cover and chill dough about 1 hour or until easy to handle. (I didn't do this, and they turned out fine, although a bit crumbly)
Preheat oven to 375. Drop cookies by scooping them out of the bowl with a spoon dropping them in small balls onto your greased cookie sheets. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until bottoms are light brown. Let sit on pans until set. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool. Makes about 36 cookies

These tasted amazing but they were a bit crumbly the next day, next time I make these I will probably take out a tablespoon of the flour. Cheers!
