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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring that each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and Spanish peanuts until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly underbaked.

Step 9

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
