These Double Peanut Butter Surprise Cookies are a delightful treat for peanut butter lovers. With a soft and chewy texture, these cookies feature the perfect balance of creamy peanut butter, chocolate chips, and crunchy chopped peanuts.
Ingredients: 1 cup creamy peanut butter. 1/2 cup butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1 cup packed brown sugar. 2 large eggs. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips. 1 cup chopped peanuts.
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350F 175C. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the peanut butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped peanuts. Scoop spoonfuls of dough and roll into 1.5-inch balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each. Gently press down on each dough ball with a fork to create a crisscross pattern. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Once cooled, these cookies are ready to be enjoyed!
