3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
4. Add in your egg and vanilla and beat until incorporated.
5. Add in your PB and mix until thoroughly combined.
6. On low or stir mode and alternating your dry mixture and milk, add until just incorporated. Turn up the speed to medium for twenty seconds and then turn off. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the bowl making sure that everything is fully mixed.
