Wonderful Cookie Recipe

My mother-in-law sent me this recipe from the Pillsbury Bake-off contest. This is the million dollar winner.

Double-Delight Peanut Butter Cookies
1/4 C. Dry Roasted Peanuts, finely chopped
1/4 C. Granulated Sugar
1/2 t. ground cinnamon
1/2 C. Jif creamy peanut butter
1/2 C. powdered sugar
1 roll Pillsbury Create n' Bake refrigerated peanut butter cookies, well chilled

Heat oven to 375 degrees. In small bowl, mix chopped peanuts, granulated sugar and cinnamon; set aside. In another small bowl stir peanut butter and powdered sugar until completely blended. Shape mixture into 24 (1-inch) balls. Cut roll of cookie dough into 12 slices. Cut each slice in half to make 24 pieces; flatten slightly. Shape 1 cookie dough piece around 1 peanut butter ball, covering completely. Repeat with remaining dough and balls. Roll each covered ball in peanut mixture; gently pat mixture completely onto balls. On ungreased large cookie sheets, place balls 2 inches apart. Spray bottom of drinking glass with cooking spray; press into remaining peanut mixture. Flatten each ball to 1/4 inch thickness with bottom of glass. Sprinkle any remaining peanut mixture evenly on tops of cookies; gently press into dough. Bake 7 to 12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack.

Abbie and I made these this afternoon since she didn't have track practice. They are wonderful!

These sound good! I may have to make them for myself, since you-know-who can't have peanut butter or nuts.
