Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 4 tbsp creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp dairy or dairy free milk
  • 1 egg *room temp*
  • 1/2-3/4 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup and 1 1/2 tbsp regular sugar add an extra tsp if necessary
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour and a tbsp + an extra 2 tsp

Instructions
 

  • First things first: Get all your ingredients together. Also a large bowl.
    Add all of the dry ingredients to the bowl. Combine or sift thoroughly.
  • Add in all of the wet ingredients. Or combine the wet ingredients together first in a smaller bowl, before adding them to the dry ingredients.
    *If the dough is too stiff, add a bit more milk. If the dough is too soft, add a little more flour*
  • For best results, refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes beforehand.
    About 5 minutes before you take the dough out of the fridge, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Portion the dough into small balls, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a fork to make a criss cross design in the tops of the balls of dough.
    Or press down slightly with your fingers, so the cookies won’t be too thick; and to help them spread some.
  • Bake the cookies for 11 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
