Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup sugar (plus 2 tablespoons for topping)
  • 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt (optional)
  • 1 cup roasted salted peanuts (finely chopped)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 4 minutes).
  2. Add eggs and vanilla extract; mix until combined. Gently fold in peanut butter.
  3. Gradually stir in flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and chopped peanuts until just mixed.
  4. Chill the dough for at least one hour (overnight is ideal).
  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll dough into 2-inch balls, coat in sugar, and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Press with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
  6. Bake for 10-13 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the sheet for at least five minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
