Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and sugar until well blended. Beat in the egg, milk, and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips and peanuts. Drop a teaspoonful of dough per cookie onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten with the tines of a fork to form a criss-cross pattern.

Bake 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet, then transfer to wire cooling racks. Store tightly covered.
