Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Unsalted roasted Spanish peanuts

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Fold in the unsalted roasted Spanish peanuts using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough into 1.5-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 8

Gently flatten each dough ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
