→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/3 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
05 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
06 - 2/3 cup whole milk

# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
03 - Cut cold cubed butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fingertips until mixture forms coarse crumbs.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk whole milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Pour over dry mixture and stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
05 - Drop spoonfuls of creamy peanut butter onto dough, scatter chocolate chips over. Gently fold and swirl once or twice to form ribbons without full incorporation.
06 - Transfer dough to lightly floured surface. Shape into a 7-inch disk, about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges and arrange on prepared baking sheet.

08 - Cool slightly before serving warm for optimal flavor.
