Step-by-step- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. If the dough is too dry or crumbly, add milk one tablespoon at a time until a cohesive dough forms.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Using a fork, gently press down on each cookie ball in a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. Do not overbake, as they will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Storage & Freezer Guide
Make it last Refrigerator Up to 1 week
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent them from drying out.
Freezer Up to 3 months
Place cooled cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container with parchment paper between layers. Thaw at room temperature.
Reheat Room temp/Microwave
Serve at room temperature for best texture. If desired, warm briefly (5-10 seconds) in the microwave for a ‘fresh from the oven’ feel.
Chef’s Corner
- For extra flavor and texture, mix in ½ cup of chocolate chips or chopped roasted peanuts into the dough.
- Ensure your butter is truly softened (but not melted) for the best creamy dough consistency.
- Don’t skip the crisscross fork pattern! It’s not just for looks; it helps flatten the cookies for even baking and is a classic peanut butter cookie signature.
