When preparing these cookies, I used creamy peanut butter in place of the butter. And the cookies turned out beautifully and tasted great! If desired, frost the cookies, and decorate them with colored sugar. Photo of these cookies was submitted by Taste of Home recipe website.

1.) In a large bowl, cream peanut butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
2.) Beat in the eggs, milk and vanilla extract.
3.) In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda; add to the creamed mixture and mix well.
4.) Cover the bowl, and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until the cookie dough is easy to handle.
5.) On a lightly floured surface, roll out the cookie dough, 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with 2-inch to 4-inch cookie cutters, and place 2-inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
6.) Place baking sheet in 375°F oven, and bake for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the edges of cookies are lightly brown.
7.) Allow cookies to cool for 1 minute on baking sheet, before removing, and placing on wire racks to cool completely.
8.) Frost cookies and decorate as desired.
Cindi's Note: Some people thought the taste of the peanut butter cookie itself was suttle. So, I thought frost the cookies with a peanut butter frosting, would taste so good!
