Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup crushed peanuts (optional, for added crunch)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.

      Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined.

          Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and crushed peanuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

            Scoop Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look a bit underbaked, which is perfect for a soft cookie.

                Cool: Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Enjoy: Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to one week. These cookies are absolutely delicious with a glass of milk!
