Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets and set aside.

Combine the peanut butter, brown sugar, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla in a large bowl—I find it easiest to begin with a whisk, then switch to a wooden spoon. Add the chocolate chips and peanuts and stir to combine.

Use a large cookie scoop to portion out balls of the dough and place them, 1 1/2 inches apart, on the prepared cookie sheets. (You can also use moistened hands to form the balls, taking about a tablespoon at a time.) These cookies don’t spread much, so flatten the balls slightly with your fingers.

Bake until the cookies are puffed and golden brown, about 12 minutes, rotating the baking sheets in the oven halfway through. Cool on the baking sheets for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
