Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Light brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cups Creamy peanut butter
• 1 whole Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Chopped peanuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the creamy peanut butter to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.

Step 5

Mix in the egg and pure vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. If using, fold in the chopped peanuts for added texture.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Gently press down on each dough ball with a fork to create a crisscross pattern on top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cookies are just set. Be careful not to overbake; they will firm up as they cool.

Step 10

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your homemade Cinnamon Peanut Cookies!
