Cinnamon Raisin Peanut Butter Cookies

Cinnamon and raisins add a delicious twist to these soft, chewy peanut butter cookies.

I’m a huge fan of peanut butter– if I can add peanut butter to something, chances are that I do. I love to experiment with it, but I also love the classics: I’ve never grown out of the good old peanut butter sandwich. Adding cinnamon and raisins is one of the ways I like to make my peanut butter fancy, though, and why should sandwiches have all the fun?
