My husband LOVES the salty/sweet combination, and he also loves the peanut butter/chocolate combo. So I started making different types of cookies to find our favorite, and we have finally come up with a winning recipe, that I have named solely for him! I hope you enjoy “Erik’s Cookies”

Equipment you’ll need:

• Cookie Sheet
• A mixer (this is not necessary, but it’s easier!)
• 1 large bowl
• 1 medium bowl

Ingredients:

• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 c. packed brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 3 T. milk
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
• 3/4 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 bag peanut butter chips
• 1/2 bag chocolate chips

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, butter, white sugar, and brown sugar with your mixer until well blended. Beat in the egg, milk, and vanilla one at a time, making sure each is incorporated fully before adding the next. In the medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Stir it into the creamed mixture. Stir in both kinds of chips. Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto your cookies sheet. Press each ball with the fork to create the lines. Bake for approx. 8 minutes or until edges are just slightly browned. In my experience, cookies are usually better when you take them out when they still look a bit doughy, if you wait until they are completely baked, they always end up rock hard. This allows them to gently cool down and finish cooking on the baking sheet.

Serve with a big glass of milk!
