I recently received a nice little surprise in the mail by way of a somewhat creepy bad-ass Mr. Peanut, haha. Who knew that his first name was Doug?
This peanut butter is one of the new ones in the Planters NUT-rition line, which consists of: Cinnamon Raisin Granola Nut, Berry Nut, and Banana Granola Nut. As soon as I saw "Cinnamon Raisin Granola Nut", it made me think of trail mix, and how this might be good for a variation of a peanut butter cookie.
I based these cookies from the peanut butter cookie portion of Picky Palate's Mini Peanut Butter and Chocolate Buttercream Cookie Sandwiches recipe (BTW- LOVE her recipes!!). Obviously I made my cookies much bigger as you can see below.
These were a big hit at work the following morning! Everyone could taste the cinnamon and liked the pieces of raisin and granola throughout the cookie. If I make this again I would probably add chocolate or maybe more chopped peanuts for more texture, but this was a fun way to try out this new peanut butter!
Note: I was sent a complimentary jar of the peanut butter to try out, but not obligated to review or write a blog post about it. I just wanted to share a tasty way to utilize this new peanut butter :o)
