These No-Bake Cinnamon Peanut Butter Cookies are perfect for the holidays or any time of the year.

Whenever you are craving peanut butter cookies but don't want to turn on the oven.

Are you thinking about Christmas baking yet? No bake cookies are the best cookies to make when you don't have much time.

Peanut Butter and Cinnamon Cookie recipe

You might be wondering do cinnamon and peanut butter go together?

Yes, they do and these No-Bake Cinnamon Peanut Butter Cookies are proof. They taste divine and are so easy to make!

I made the recipe twice.

The first batch was just plain no-bake peanut butter cookies.

The second time I made it I added the cinnamon.

Oh, My! They taste so good with just a hint of cinnamon and are perfect for the upcoming holiday season.

This no-bake peanut butter cookie recipe is a spin off an old vintage recipe.

I wrote the recipe down on a piece of paper and forgot to note which one of my vintage cookbooks the recipe came from.

That is a big dilemma. I have so many vintage cookbooks there is no way I can find the recipe again.

Well, eventually I will run across it and when I do I will update this post with the info.
