So I came home today and decided I wanted cookies after a long day of work. Though really, I think its an after thought from yesterday. I was going non-stop yesterday! I woke up went to work, taught for two periods then went and did a cycling class then ran to the temple then did genealogy for an hour or so then went and tutored for two hours and then showered went to dinner, had a book club meeting then came home to prepare a test for the next day then went to sleep and woke up and went to work, then did some genealogy, then came home and made cookies. Wow... what a past two days. But I feel like right now is such a nice time to just sit and eat a delicious peanut butter cookie.

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- Beat together butter and peanut butter until well combined.
- Add sugar and brown sugar, beat until fluffy.
- Mix in egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and mix just until blended.
- Roll balls of dough about the size of walnuts then roll in white sugar before placing on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes. Do not over bake. Cookies will be puffy, soft and slightly brown on the edges. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 3 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely (here is where they will continue cooking). Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
