Note
For best results, ensure butter and peanut butter are softened but not melted, which helps create a tender texture.
You can substitute the milk chocolate with dark chocolate, white chocolate, or chocolate chips if preferred.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
The dough can be chilled for 30 minutes before baking if it feels too soft to handle.
