Ingredients

For the cookies

  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For rolling the cookies

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and peanut butter until combined. Add the sugars and cream until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating until combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the mixer in a couple of batches, mixing until just combined.
  • In a small bowl, mix the extra sugar and cinnamon together. Set the mixture aside momentarily.
  • Scoop ~2 tablespoons of dough out (with spoons or a cookie scoop), roll it into a ball, and roll the dough ball in the prepared cinnamon-sugar.
  • Bake 9-10 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges and just set. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
