These cookies are the product of an unholy union of chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, and snicker doodles... and they are delicious. Neither the peanut butter nor the cinnamon is overwhelming. If you didn't know what went into them, you might not be able to guess the ingredients. The texture is fluffy and buttery, while the peanuts are still nice and crunchy.
The recipe is really easy; if you can make drop cookies, you can make these. Cream the butters and sugars, add the flour, add the chips and peanuts. Simple!
We used whole peanuts, instead of chopped nuts (because we were feeling lazy), and used a 1 1/2 T disher to portion the dough, instead of rolling the dough into balls and flattening. Our cookies were a little taller than Martha's at first, but they fell a bit as they cooled, but are still delicious.

I totally agree. I was skeptical about the cinnamon, but actually it was the perfect touch. I brought these cookies to work and they were gone by noon! I love when that happens.
