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!
