- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
Combine the Peanut Butter Cookie Ingredients
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Combine the brown sugar, peanut butter, milk, egg, and vanilla in a large bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients together.In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ones, mixing as you go.
Put the Batter on a Cookie Sheet
Spoon the cookie dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. These cookies are already plenty greasy, so you do not have to worry about them sticking.Use a fork to press down the batter, making the crisscross pattern that is distinctive to peanut butter cookies.
