Equipment

Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 large eggs at room temperature
1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 and ¼ cups all-purpose flour spooned & leveled
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a microwave safe bowl, melt the butter until it is melted.
Transfer the butter to a large bowl, and stir the creamy peanut butter into the butter until blended well.
Stir in the dark brown sugar and the granulated sugar until combined and fluffy.
Add the eggs in one at a time and add in the vanilla extract and the milk.
Slowly beat the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
Stir in the chocolate chips until combined.
Scoop the dough into 1.5 tablespoons of dough or use a #40 cookie scoop to make it easier to scoop.
Chill the cookie dough balls overnight (12 hours).
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place the chilled cookie dough balls two inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.
Flatten the tops of the cookies down to help the cookies spread. Press additional chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies if desired.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to cooling racks to cool completely.

Notes

Portion the dough into balls before chilling to make it easier when it is time to bake the cookies.

Use chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, or a combination of both if desired.

Add peanut butter chips for extra peanut butter flavor.
