How to Make Chocolate Spanish Peanut Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix for 2 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips and 1 cup Spanish peanuts (or American peanuts).
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are set and centers are slightly soft. Avoid overbaking.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
