Double Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Wow...that's a mouthful of a name for a cookie isn't it?!  As you all can probably tell, I have a thing for anything with peanut butter and chocolate.  For example, this recipe, this recipe, and this recipe!  I also have a thing for cookies. :) Throw the two together and I have to control myself from eating a whole batch and drinking a gallon of milk with them! 

This is a big batch (makes about 4+ dozen) and could easily be halved.

Enjoy!

Double Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

2 1/2 Cups Flour
1 1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
1 Tsp Baking Powder
1/4 Tsp Salt
1 Cup Butter, Softened
2 Cups Peanut Butter (1-16oz jar will do the trick)
1 1/2 Cups Sugar (Plus some for rolling the dough in)
1 Cup Brown Sugar, Firmly Packed
2 Large Eggs, room temperature
2 Tbsp Milk
2 Tsp Vanilla
1 Cup Peanut Butter Chips
1 Cup Chocolate Chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

In a large bowl, combine flour, soda, powder, and salt.  Set aside.

In another large bowl, cream butter and peanut butter until fluffy.  Add the sugars and beat until smooth.  Then add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each.  Add milk and vanilla extract.  Add flour mixture and beat thoroughly.  Stir in chips.  Roll rounded teaspoonfuls in sugar and place on pan.  Flatten with a fork in crisscross pattern (like picture above) or flatten with a spatula/bottom of a glass, back of spoon, etc.  Bake for 10-12 minutes (do not overbake - cookies will appear underdone).  Let cool on cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes before transferring over to cooling racks to cool completely.
