Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup candy-coated chocolates (such as M&M's)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, and candy-coated chocolates.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat with the remaining dough until all cookies are baked.
- Once cooled, enjoy the double chocolate peanut candy cookies with a glass of cold milk or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
