Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the unsalted butter and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the granulated sugar and light brown sugar to the bowl and beat until well combined, about 1 minute.
Mix in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and beat until incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped roasted peanuts and semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers will still look slightly soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
