How to Make Peanut Butter Snickerdoodles
First, set the oven to 350 degrees, then use parchment paper to line a cookie sheet.
Second, add the flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl, and mix to combine.
Next, add the butter, peanut butter, 3/4 cup of sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla into a standing mixer and beat until light and fluffy.
Slowly combine the wet and dry ingredients until it forms a dough.
Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough out of the bowl using a small ice cream scooper. Then, place it on the cookie sheet.
Pick up each portion of dough that you set on the cookie sheet and use your hands to roll them into a ball.
Next, add the rest of the 3/4 cup of sugar, and 3 tablespoons of ground cinnamon into a small bowl and mix to combine.
Begin placing each ball of dough into the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Then, use your hands to toss some sugar on each ball to make sure it’s completely coated.
Finally, put the sugar-coated dough balls back onto the prepared cookie sheet and place them into the oven to bake for 13 minutes.
Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
