Ingredients

  • 2 cups (254 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick (113 grams) unsalted butter, at cool room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (135 grams) smooth peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar, plus 1/4 cup (50 grams) for rolling
  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, at cool room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter, peanut butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium-high speed until well combined and smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. On low speed, gradually add the flour mixture and beat until incorporated.
  4. Place the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar with the cinnamon in a shallow dish. Using a medium spring-loaded cookie scoop, shape the dough into 1 1/2 tablespoon balls, then roll in cinnamon sugar to coat evenly. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets and flatten with the bottom of a measuring cup or glass.
  5. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and begin to brown. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
