1. In a large bowl, mix brown sugar and granulated sugar.
2. Brown the butter in a medium saucepan and add to the sugars. Set aside and allow mixture to cool for about ten minutes.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Once butter is cooled, add peanut butter and honey and beat on medium speed just until smooth. Beat in egg. Mix in milk.
5. Add the flour mixture and mix just until dough comes together.
6. Cover and refrigerate dough for at least two hours or up to overnight.
7. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
8. Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Flatten by pressing down with a fork, while holding the sides of the cookie in order to maintain a circular shape. Press the fork into the cookie again in a perpendicular angle to the first indentation, forming a crosshatch pattern.
9. Bake until cookies begin to brown around the edges but centers still look somewhat doughy, about 9–10 minutes.
10. Immediately upon removing from the oven, sprinkle sugar on the tops of the cookies and let cool on baking sheets until firm enough to handle, then transfer to a wire rack.
