Peanut Butter Chocolate-Chunk Cookies
- 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 pound bittersweet chocolate, cut into 1/2-inch chunks (1 1/2 cups)
- 1/2 cup salted peanuts
- Preheat the oven to 350 and position 2 racks in the lower third.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until fluffy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla and beat at low speed until blended.
- Add the peanut butter and beat until combined.
- Beat in the dry ingredients just until incorporated.
- Beat in the chocolate chunks and peanuts.
- For each cookie, use an ice cream scoop or a large spoon to scoop 3 tablespoons of the dough onto parchment-lined or nonstick baking sheets; space them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for about 13 minutes for slightly chewy cookies and 15 minutes for crisp cookies; shifting the pans from top to bottom and front to back for even baking.
- Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
