I am not a baker. I don't much care for sweets. But. If you're going to have a cookie, have one of these.

Ingredients

• 8 T salted butter (1 stick), softened
• 1 large egg, room temperature (leave it out with the butter)
• 1 1/3 C all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/8 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 C granulated sugar
• 1/2 C packed brown sugar
• 3/4 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2/3 C chunky peanut butter (spray a measuring cup with non-stick cooking spray so it comes out easily)
• 1 C dark chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Line two jelly roll pans with parchment paper
2. Whisk the flour, baking soda, cayenne, salt, and cinnamon together
3. Cream the butter and sugars in a standing mixer until light and fluffy
4. Add egg and vanilla and beat until fully incorporated
5. Slowly add the flour mixture on medium-low speed until a loose dough forms
6. Add the peanut butter on low speed until incorporated, then mix in the chocolate chips
7. If you have a large cookie baller, use it to create 12 even balls on the two baking sheets, if not, use your hands. Then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour
8. Preheat oven to 375° F
9. Bake cookies 16*20 minutes, switching racks and directions halfway through
10. Remove cookies from oven and leave on pans for about 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool
