Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- 1 cup milk chocolate chunks
- 0.75 cup salted peanuts, coarsely chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks, milk chocolate chunks, and chopped peanuts using a rubber spatula.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop 1.5-tablespoon portions 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 but the centers are still soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these rich, double chocolate chunk peanut cookies with a glass of cold milk!
