Double-Delight Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup dry roasted peanuts, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup peanut butter, creamy
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 16 1/2 ounces peanut butter cookie dough, instead of the roll I use my favorite PB cookie recipe # 810, chilled dough is easier to handle
• cooking spray

Directions

1. 1

   Heat oven to 375 degrees.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, mix chopped peanuts, granulated sugar and cinnamon; set aside.

3. 3

   In another small bowl, stir peanut butter and powdered sugar until completely blended. Shape into 24 (1") balls.

4. 4

   Cut roll of cookie dough into 12 slices. Cut each slice in half crosswise to make 24 pieces; flatten slightly. If using a homemade recipe divide dough into 24 pieces.

5. 5

   Shape 1 cookie dough piece around 1 peanut butter ball, covering completely. Repeat with remaining dough and balls.

6. 6

   Roll each covered ball in peanut mixture; gently pat mixture completely onto balls. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls 2" apart. Spray bottom of drinking glass with cooking spray; press into remaining peanut mixture. Flatten each ball to 1/2" thickness with bottom of glass. Sprinkle any remaining peanut mixture evenly on tops of cookies; gently press into dough.

7. 7

   Bake 7-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Store tightly covered.
