Wicked Good Peanut Butter Spice Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl. Yep, all at once!

Using your mixer, mix on low for a few seconds then turn it up to medium until well blended.

Roll dough into balls with your hands. I use a big heaping tablespoon, because I’m too poor to buy a proper cookie scoop. (Culinary school ain’t cheap, folks!) Place cookie balls on a parchment lined baking sheet. If you have a silicon baking mat, that works just dandy too.

Use a fork to flatten the balls slightly.

Lightly sprinkle the cookies with a little extra granulated sugar and sea salt. All the ridges you added with fork will help adhere the sugar and salt to the cookies. It also makes them look sparkly and pretty.

Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Then remove from the oven and let stand on baking sheet for a minute or two, then remove to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

**As this makes a conservative amount of cookies (and because they usually go fast) I like to double this recipe.
