How to Make Sweet And Salty Peanut Chocolate Chunk Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar using a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup salted peanuts, 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks, and 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. (Cooking time may vary depending on your oven).
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
