Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the flour, the baking soda, the baking powder, and the salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat the butter and the peanut butter together until fluffy.
Step 4
Add the sugars and beat until smooth.
Step 5
Add the egg and mix well.
Step 6
Add the milk and the vanilla extract.
Step 7
Add the flour mixture and beat thoroughly.
Step 8
Stir in the peanut butter and chocolate chips.
Step 9
Place sprinkling sugar — the remaining tablespoon — on a plate.
Step 10
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls into the sugar, then onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving several inches between for expansion.
Step 11
Using a fork, lightly indent with a criss-cross pattern (I used the back of a small offset spatula to keep it smooth on top), but do not overly flatten cookies.
Step 12
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Do not overbake. Cookies may appear to be underdone, but they are not.
Step 13
Cool the cookies on the sheets for 1 minute, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
Step 14
Save recipe for the next time?
Chef's notes
Adapted from the Magnolia Bakery Cookbook.
The cookies are crisp on the outside and cakey on the inside.
