Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup butter (* softened)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (* packed)
  • 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter (* or creamy)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts

Instruction

  • Combine the butter, sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter and egg in the bowl of an electric mixer and set to low-medium speed.
  • Once combined, slowly add in the baking soda, baking powder, and flour.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  • Once the dough is chilled, preheat your oven to 375°F.
  • Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on the cookie sheet about 2-inches apart. Use a fork to make a crisscross shape onto the top if each cookie.
  • Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until light brown around the edges.
  • Remove from the baking sheets to a cooling rack and let cool completely.
  • After the cookies are completely cool, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 and 1/2 minutes on 50% power then stir. If more time is needed place the bowl back in the microwave for 15 seconds, then stir again.
  • Dip each cookie 1/3 of the way into the melted dark chocolate, letting any excess drip off before placing it back onto the cooling rack or onto a sheet of wax paper.
  • Immediately sprinkle on a pinch of chopped peanuts, then allow the chocolate to set before serving.
