Do Cinnamon and Peanut Butter Go Together?

A few months ago when I made that old-fashioned no-bake peanut butter cookie recipe I sprinkled some cinnamon in half the recipe just to test it out.

I am so glad I did because that was the inspiration behind these No Bake Cinnamon Peanut Butter Cranberry Cookies that I knew would be perfect for a Christmas Cookie exchange.

If you ever wondered if cinnamon and peanut butter go together I can tell you yes these two flavors are perfect together.

I love to spread peanut butter on a low carb tortilla and sprinkle cinnamon over it the microwave for a couple of seconds to warm the peanut for a quick healthy snack.

    I have a new appreciation of no bake cookies.... and a very soft spot in my heart for PB and then the addition of cinnamon! Perfect! I had to try this combo and loved it... great idea.
