Notes :
If you have extra peanut butter at home, reduce the butter quantity and instead of butter use peanut butter. Sum should be tally with the main recipe butter + peanut butter ingredients quantities.
Grind the sugar before adding them. Then it is easy to mix them well.
Milk is not a mandatory item, if your dough is not mixing well add a little bit of milk (start with 1 tablespoon and add more if necessary)
