Garam Masala Peanut Butter Cookies

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and garam masala.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream together peanut butter, butter, and both sugars until light & fluffy, scraping bowl as needed.
4. Add egg & yolk, then add vanilla. Mix until combined.
5. Add dry ingredients and mix until combined.
6. Using a medium cookie scoop or your hands, scoop into 1" balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Use a fork to create a criss-cross pattern on each dough ball.
7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are beginning to brown and centers are set.
8. Remove from oven and let cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then move to a cooling rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days (or freeze for up to a month).
