Soft and chewy Peanut Butter cookies with a fun and easy twist for Earth day. And filled with chocolate chips. The cookies are made green and blue with food coloring and rolled in a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, giving the cookies a delicious snickerdoodle flavor.
The Cookie Dough is made similar to a classic peanut butter cookie dough, except that half of the cookie dough is made green and the other half blue. Fold chocolate chips into each cookie dough. Roll a small amount of each cookie dough together into ball and roll in a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Place the cookies onto a large ungreased baking sheet at least 2-inches apart. Bake until the cookies are fully cooked through.
