Easiest cookies on the planet

When it comes to cookies, the simpler the better in my book.  And when it comes to pleasing kids, anything with peanut butter and chocolate is always a winner.  Now, ANYONE can make these cookies.  There's nothing tricky about this recipe...it's foolproof, so, if you have kids, have them help.  Or better yet, they can make them on their own like my kids.  Well, I made this batch, but they easily could have!

Kicked up (sorry Emeril) Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

*Note: the 'kicked up' part is cinnamon...if you're not a fan, reduce the amount to 1/4 tsp

1/2 c peanut butter...smooth or chunky, your preference
1/2 c. softened unsalted butter
1/2 c. sugar
2/3 c. brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2-3/4 c. chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350.  Cream peanut butter, butter and sugars together.  Add remaining ingredients.  Drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake 10-12 minutes until browned.  Wait until almost cool before moving to wax paper or cooling rack.
