  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup, packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup peanut butter (crunchy or creamy)
  • 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
  2. In a small bowl, sift flour, baking soda and salt together, set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla and peanut butter and beat until combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix until flour is fully incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips and salted peanuts.
