These hand-rolled Cinnamon Kissed Peanut Butter Cookies combine comfort food classics. Think buttery and peanut flavors, with the addition of aromatic cinnamon, whipped up into a soft yet satisfying cookie.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. This prevents the cookies from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
2
Cream your room temperature unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and tightly packed light brown sugar together in a large bowl using an electric mixer. Mix for about 3 minutes until smooth and light.
3
Add your large eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the pure vanilla extract.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and table salt. This is your dry mixture.
5
Slowly add your dry mixture to the butter-sugar mixture while continuing to beat with the mixer. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
6
Prepare rolling sugar by combining the extra granulated sugar and ground cinnamon on a flat plate.
7
Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough, then manually roll each piece into a smooth ball with your hands.
8
Roll each cookie ball in the rolling sugar until fully coated. Place the coated cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a 2-inch gap between each cookie.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden and set. They should be a bit soft in the middle.
10
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
