PrintPrint Recipe
  • Yield: 4 to 5 dozen cookies
  • Prep Time: 0:40
  • Bake Time: 10 minutes
  • Chill Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 6 tablespoons butter OR margarine, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup Karo® Light OR Dark Corn Syrup
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Beat peanut butter, butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and egg in a large bowl with mixer until smooth. Reduce speed; beat in 1 cup flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Beat in remaining 1 cup flour.
  2. Divide dough in half. Between two sheets of waxed paper on large cookie sheets, press each half of dough a scant 1/4-inch thick using the palm of your hand or a rolling pin. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
