Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.

In large bowl, cream together the butter & peanut butter. Beat in the sugars until fluffy.

Add in the egg, milk, & vanilla and mix well.

In a smaller bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, all the spices, and the black pepper.

Beat half the flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Then add the rest of the flour mixture and mix. Do not over mix.

Sprinkle the turbinado sugar onto a small plate.

Roll the dough into balls slightly larger than a tablespoon. Press one side of the cookie dough ball into the sugar, flattening slightly. Continue this for the rest of the dough.

Place the sugared cookie dough balls on your prepared baking sheet, at least 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are slightly browned.

Allow to cool on a wire rack.
