Soft, rich, chocolately and utterly irresistibble.
Ingredients
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup firmly packed golden brown sugar
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 pound (2 sticks) Sweet Cream Unsalted Butter, softened
2 Organic Large Eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 12-ounce package Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 1/2 cups natural quick-cooking oats
1 cup unsalted, dry-roasted peanuts, chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°. In large mixing bowl with electric mixer, mix
granulated sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, and butter until creamy,
about 1 minute. Mix in eggs and vanilla.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and
salt. Gradually add to batter, mixing on low speed until blended. Mix in
chocolate chips, oats, and peanuts.
3. Drop batter onto 2 oiled baking sheets in heaping tablespoons about 3
inches apart. Flatten slightly to about 2 1/2 inches across and 1/2 inch
thick.
4. Bake cookies until tops are barely set when lightly pressed and color
is golden, about 12 to 14 minutes. They will feel underdone but will firm
up as they cool. Let stand 5 minutes and remove to racks to cool
completely.
