Prep: 12 hours 20 minutes
Bake: 12 minutes
Servings: 18 cookies

Ingredients

  • 112 g Unsalted butter ½ cup, softened
  • 135 g Dark brown sugar ⅔ cup
  • 50 g Granulated sugar ¼ cup
  • 1 large Egg room temperature
  • ½ tsp Vanilla
  • 175 g Creamy peanut butter ⅔ cup
  • 150 g AP Flour 1¼ cup
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • ½ tsp Baking powder
  • ½ tsp Sea salt
  • 115 g Cinnamon bits/chips 1 cup
  • Cinnamon sugar for topping

Instructions

  • In a small/medium bowl mix together dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and whisk together. Set aside.
  • In either the bowl of your stand mixer with paddle attached or medium bowl with hand mixer, cream together softened butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-4 minutes).
  • Add egg and vanilla, and mix in until incorporated.
  • Add in peanut butter and mix until smooth.
  • Add your dry ingredients to the wet, and mix on low until just combined. Don't overmix!
  • Add in your cinnamon chips to the cookie dough and stir with a rubber spatula to disperse evenly throughout the cookie dough.
  • Either scoop out all your cookies onto a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet and cover or cover your bowl and place in the refrigerator to chill overnight or at least 8 hours.
  • After your dough has sufficiently chilled, preheat oven to 350°F and take dough out of refrigerator while oven preheats.
  • If you chilled your dough in the bowl, scoop cookies onto a parchment lined baking sheet, allowing at least 2 inches between cookies. After scooping, sprinkle dough generously with cinnamon sugar.
  • Bake cookies on center rack for about 12 minutes. Cookies will still be quite soft in center, edges will be golden but set. Allow cookies to sit on pan 3-5 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
    Baking time is based on about a 2 tbsp cookie scoop, so larger cookies will need slightly more time (an extra 2-3 minutes) and smaller cookies less (probably about 1 minute).
  • Store cookies in an airtight container, they will last about 4-7 days before becoming stale. Enjoy!
