Ingredients
-
3/4 cup sugar (see note in introduction)
-
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 cup creamy peanut butter (I used natural, no-sugar added, chunky pb)
-
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (make sure theyre gluten and or or lactose free if thats a concern)
-
1 large egg, lightly beaten
-
1/2 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a small bowl combine sugar, soda and salt.
- In a large bowl, stir together sugar-soda-salt-mix, egg and vanilla until well combined. I used a wire whisk for this step.
- Now add in the peanut butter, stir with a spoon til well combined and smooth.
- Fold in chocolate chips and roasted peanut pieces.
- With moistened hands, roll dough, about 1 heaping tablespoon at a time, into balls. Place 2 inches apart on two baking sheets.
- Bake for about 12-14 minutes. Cookies will still be slightly soft, but firm up while cooling.
- Allow to set on baking sheet for a couple of minutes and then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
