Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Combine creamy peanut butter and softened salted butter. Beat them together until creamy.
Add granulated sugar and brown sugar to the peanut butter-butter mixture. Beat until light and fluffy.
Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and salt) to the wet mixture, mixing until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix. The dough will be very soft.
Scoop out portions of the dough using a #40 scoop and roll them into 1 to 1.5-inch diameter balls.
Roll each dough ball in granulated sugar to coat the exterior.
Arrange the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Use a fork to create a crisscross pattern on the cookies by gently pressing down on each dough ball.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
