Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
cupFlour
½teaspoonBaking soda
½teaspoonSalt
¾cupButter; softened
½cupBrown sugar; packed
½cupGranulated sugar
½cupPeanut butter
1Egg
1teaspoonVanilla
2cupsSemisweet chocolate chips*
½cupPeanuts; coarsely chopped

Directions

* I did not add this many chocolate chips. I think I added about 6 to 8 ozs.

Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Beat butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and peanut butter in a large mixer bowl until creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and peanuts.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoon onto an ungreased baking sheet. Press down slightly to flatten into 2" circles.

Bake in a preheated 375 oven for 7 to 10 minutes or until edges are set but centers are still soft. Let stand for 4 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Please note: Original recipe calls for ½ teaspoon of cinnamon to be mixed in with dry ingredients. Didn't think this would taste good, so I excluded.
