Happy birthday Krystopf!
More cookies for Papa John. And that man loves himself some peanut butter. We have actually made him flavoured peanut butter and given it to him for two Christmases in a row. Chances are high that it will be another request this year. This again has been adapted from Everyday Food, and has the same base as the coconut lime oat-y cookies posted on Monday.
Preheat the ol’ oven to 350°F and line some baking sheets with parchment paper.
Whisk together 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1 tablespoon cinnamon.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, plop in 1 cup butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar and beat that up for about 4 minutes or so, until it’s pale and fluffy.
Add in 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons vanilla, and 1 cup peanut butter (crunchy or smooth, it’s up to you). Beat that up for a spell.
Slowly add in the flour and mix until fully combined, then plop in 1 cup dried cherries and mix that up as well.
Use a soup spoon to plop the dough onto the baking sheets and bake, rotating the pans halfway through, for 12-14 minutes.
Allow the cookies to firm up on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely, then store in an airtight container — if there are any left!

I would have never thought of peanut butter and cherries together, but I think that this idea is going to linger in my brain all day. Yum.
