Equipment

3 large cookie sheets or pans
1 large mixing bowl
1 electric mixer
1 wooden spoon
1 spatula
1 1/4 cup cookie scoop
measuring cups
measuring spoons

Ingredients

1 cup salted butter softened (2 sticks)
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
2 large eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour bleached flour toughens baked goods
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. sea salt
3 1/2 cups honey roasted peanuts

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream butter, peanut butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy.
Stir flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together.
Gradually stir dry ingredients and honey roasted peanuts into peanut butter mixture.
Keep stirring until thoroughly mixed; this may take 3-5 minutes.
With a large cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough and press the dough gently into the cookie scoop before leveling it off.
Place onto greased cookie sheets approximately 3-inches apart.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
Rotate cookies on racks every 6 to 7 minutes of baking time.
Cool completely.

Notes

NOTE: When I was baking two racks at a time, my cookies took 21 minutes to bake. When I baked a single rack (and didn’t need to rotate the cookies), the cookies took about 15 minutes to bake. Smaller cookies won’t take so long to bake.

NOTE: You can use crunchy peanut butter if that’s all you have. But this recipe already has a lot of crunch!

NOTE; I used 3 ½ cups because I was trying to get rid of a large container of peanuts. You can decrease this amount to about 2 cups if you prefer less peanuts.
