Yield

32 Cookies

Ingredients

1 butter (stick, softened)
1 1⁄4 cups brown sugar, light
1 cup peanut butter, crunchy
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 cup flour
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
1⁄2 cup sugar, turbinado
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper and reserve.

In a stand mixer fitted with the batter paddle, or in a large bowl using an electric mixer, cream the butter. When soft and light, add the brown sugar and beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the peanut butter and beat to mix; scrape the bowl. Add the vanilla and egg and beat until smooth.

In a medium bowl, stir the flour, salt and baking soda. Then, with the mixer on low speed, stir into the butter mixture. Scrape the bowl and continue until well mixed.

In a medium bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon and reserve.

Portion rounded tablespoon-sized scoops of dough, roll between your palms to make a ball, and then drop each one in the cinnamon sugar and roll to coat. Place each dough round on the sheet pan, with 2 inches of space between. When all the balls are on the pan, use a fork to gently flatten each one, making a fork mark across the top.

Bake for 9-10 minutes, just until puffed and lightly golden. Cool on racks before storing. Stored in an airtight container, the cookies keep for a week at room temperature.
