Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Using a spatula or wooden spoon, fold in the chocolate chips and chopped roasted peanuts, if using.

Step 7

Scoop dough using a tablespoon or cookie scoop and place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 8

Gently press down on each dough ball with your fingers or a fork to slightly flatten them.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Enjoy your freshly baked Chunky Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies with a glass of milk or as a delightful snack!
