Peanut Butter Snickerdoodles: The perfect combo of two classic cookies! Soft, chewy, and totally irresistible.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened but not melted
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line three large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together granulated sugar and butter on medium speed for 2-3 minutes. Add peanut butter and mix until combined.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl as needed. Mix in vanilla extract.
  • With the mixer on low, add flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, scoop out dough and roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
  • Place coated dough balls onto the parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Using your hand, flatten each cookie slightly.
  • Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Carefully remove from baking sheets and place on a cooling rack.
