Ingredients

  1. 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  2. 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
  3. 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  4. 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  5. 1 large egg
  6. 1 cup all-purpose flour
  7. 1/4 cup natural cocoa powder (not Dutch process)
  8. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  11. 1/2 cup roasted salted peanuts

Instructions

  1. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until fluffy. Add the vanilla and egg and beat to combine.
  3. Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat until just combined. Stir in the peanut butter chips and peanuts.
  4. Scoop slightly mounded tablespoons of the dough and roll into balls. Arrange about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  6. Bake until the cookies are set and golden on the bottom, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
