Cinnamon Sugar Peanut Butter Cookies

November 4, 2013 by Hillary 15 Comments

What do you do with a 32 oz. jar of creamy peanut that doesn’t meet your nut butter standards?

I bought a jar of Brad’s Organic Peanut Butter at Costco semi-recently; it’s not salted nor does it have superb texture, so it wasn’t getting put to use as regularly as its counterparts. No nut butter goes to waste in this household though, and since I am in baking mode – in a major way – I knew exactly where that peanut buttah was headed…

I love a classic peanut butter cookie, and you can bet I like them with chocolate chips, or – better yet – dipped in rich, dark chocolate. Since it’s the holiday season, and spiced recipes are an obligation this time of year, I decided to spice things up — simply with cinnamon!

Peanut Butter Cookie meet Snickerdoodle. 

I had fun with the photo shoot — enjoy!

Oh, and the recipe >> pin it, print it, e-mail it!

    These cookies look fantastic! A perfect resolution to your sub-standard jar of PB. Lets see…for the rest of it…well, some would probably be good used in smoothies! :-)

    Maybe use the rest of the PB for peanut sauce?

    The photo shoot is beautiful – and I love peanut butter. I’m a runner, too, and so I pretty much live on pb :) My favorite classic cookie is Nestle Toll House chocolate chip, but I’m also a sucker for a soft sugar cookie. Happy November!

    Peanut butter cookies are always a hit around here. Although we love ours to have chocolate, too! Great photos! Very appetizing!

    Two of my favorite cookies in one? Unbelievable. A great way to use up unwanted nut butter!

    I’m loving your pics with the cute little spoon. It makes me want to reach through the screen and grab one of these bad boys!

    I would make peanut butter “granola” bars with peanut butter, nuts, coconut, and honey. Delicious and healthy!

    Those look delicious! One of my favorite go-to’s are my college roommate’s chocolate chip cookies, or my grandmother’s peanut butter cookies with the Hershey’s kiss on top :)

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of a pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
