Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat for another 2-3 minutes until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently.
  7. Scoop the dough and roll into balls, placing them 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
  8. Flatten each dough ball with a fork, creating a slight indentation.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until slightly underdone in the center.
  10. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
