Peanut Butter Snickerdoodles
Irresistible cookies make tailgating parties even better. Pair them with a fan-favorite menu that includes Football Pizza Dip & Hot Buffalo Fried Chicken or classic pulled pork barbecue sandwiches with all of the fixings such as Old-Fashioned Potato Salad & Buttermilk Cole Slaw. Peanut Butter Snickerdoodles are a miniature take on the traditional cookies but they’re infused with a dose of goodness. Shaping the chilled dough into logs makes it easy to slice & bake them at a moments notice. Learn how to make a crowd pleasing cookie ideal for football parties & beyond.
Peanut Butter Snickerdoodles
makes 12 dozen
Run The Option
The recipe makes 3 1/2 dozen traditionally-sized cookies. Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls & coat in the cinnamon sugar, place on parchment paper-lined pans & flatten with the bottom of a drinking glass to 2-inches. Bake an additional 2 minutes per batch.
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, divided
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/3 cup granulated sugar
Cream the butter & the sugar on Medium speed using an electric stand mixer until light & fluffy. Add the egg & the vanilla. Blend just until combined. Add the peanut butter & mix just until blended. Do not over mix the peanut butter as it may separate. Whisk together the flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, the baking soda & the salt in a small bowl. Add to the butter mixture & blend on Low speed just until combined. Transfer the dough to a bowl & cover with plastic wrap. Chill 4 hours. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces & roll each portion into a 10-inch log that measures approximately 1-inch in diameter. Roll in plastic & chill 4 to 24 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Slice each log into 1/4-inch thick pieces using a paring knife. Place 1-inch apart on parchment paper-lined half sheet pans. The dough will spread during baking. Combine the granulated sugar & the remaining cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture over the cookie dough portions. Bake 9 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon sugar. Cool completely.
The Extra Point
The dough is extremely soft. Place the logs in the freezer briefly during the cutting process to reform again.

How To Measure Brown Sugar
Sugar is a spreading agent in baked goods. It’s important to know how to measure it properly to have success. Follow my tips for this simple task.
The Technique
When preparing baking recipes that call for brown sugar, it’s important to get an accurate measurement. Be certain to pack it tightly in the measuring cup & level with a knife, if necessary. Once you have the proper amount, add it as is to the recipes or crumble through your fingers to break it up to ensure the proper blending takes place.
