Instructions

n

Preheat the oven to 375 F with the top rack in the center position.

Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or a Silpat baking mat and set aside.

Place the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar into a large mixing bowl and cream together.

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix to combine.

In a separate large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and 2/3 cup unsalted peanuts.

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

Transfer the dough to the fridge and chill for one hour.

Once chilled, divide the dough into equal-sized balls and arrange on the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each ball.

Press the dough down with a fork in a crisscross fashion to flatten.

Add the remaining chopped peanuts to the top of the cookies and press the peanuts down into them.

Place the baking sheets into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown on top and cooked through.

Remove the cookies from the oven and let sit for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool before serving.
