Servings 15 oversized cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup roasted, salted peanuts roughly chopped
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or grease heavily with cooking spray.
  • Beat the softened butter and peanut butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy (about 1-2 minutes on medium speed).
  • Add granulated sugar and brown sugar until well incorporated.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth.
  • Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt by hand using a spatula to ensure you do not over-mix at this stage.
  • Roughly chop the peanuts. Stir in the peanuts and chocolate chips until incorporated.
  • Scoop out large balls of dough (2 scoop-fulls with a normal cookie scoop, 1 scoop if using an ice cream scoop) and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 14-16 minutes until edges are slightly browned. Allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
