Peanut Butter Cinnamon Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I think that I have found my new favorite cookies.  Ever.  Holy cow, this combination is crazy!  I'm not sure why I haven't figured this one out before now, but I will definitely be making these cookies again.  The peanut butter, raisins and cinnamon are incredible together, and the the oats give these cookies a nice chewy texture.  I kind of want to eat them all!  Original recipe found here.

Peanut Butter Cinnamon Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

 

1 sticks (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature

½ cup creamy peanut butter

¼ cup granulated sugar

¾ cup packed light brown sugar

1 large egg

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

¾ cups old-fashioned rolled oats

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup raisins

Preheat the oven to 350F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cream together the butter and peanut butter until smooth.  Add the sugar and brown sugar and beat until light and fluffy.  Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well blended.  Add the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, and beat until incorporated.  Stir in the raisins until evenly distributed.

Scoop the dough into tablespoon size balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.  Bake the cookies for about 9 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown at the edges.  Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on the pan for several minutes.  Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.  Makes 36 cookies.

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
