Ingredients
  

For the Cookies:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky, your choice)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter and peanut butter. Beat until creamy, then gradually add in the granulated and brown sugars, mixing well.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  • In a small bowl, combine the additional granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for rolling.
  • Scoop portions of dough, roll into balls, and then roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Place the coated dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space for spreading. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • Freeze cookies for up to three months for longer storage.
  • To reheat, microwave for a few seconds for a soft, chewy experience.
