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

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, and candy-coated chocolates.
7. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
9. 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.
10. Repeat with the remaining dough until all cookies are baked.
11. 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.
