Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups Spanish peanuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring that each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and Spanish peanuts until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
