Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat, and set aside.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cornflour, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugars until combined.
Add the egg, vanilla, and peanut butter, and mix until combined.
Add the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Fold in the peanut butter chips.
TIP: If you find the cookie dough too crumbly, add milk (1 tablespoon at a time) and mix until it comes together and is easier to manage.
Roll the dough into 2-oz balls (or use a medium cookie scoop), and place onto the prepared baking tray. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes.
Allow to cool on the baking tray for 5 - 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
