Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the creamy peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the chopped peanuts and crispy rice cereal until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Use the back of a fork to gently press down on each dough ball, creating a crisscross pattern on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
Allow the cookies to 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.
