How to Make Crispy Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease one or two baking sheets.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup powdered sugar (or granulated sugar for chewy cookies), ½ cup packed dark brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or maple extract) using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  5. Add 1 cup creamy peanut butter and ¼ cup vegetable oil to the wet ingredients. Mix until well combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 1 cup milk chocolate chips and ½ cup chopped peanuts (or other nuts).
  8. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 ½ inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Keep a close eye on them, as ovens vary.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
