Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:21 Combine melted, cooled butter, both sugars, and peanut butter in a large mixing bowl and stir well.
01:13 Add honey, eggs, and vanilla extract and stir well until batter is cohesive.
02:00 In a separate, medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
02:45 Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet until thoroughly combined.
03:47 Add chocolate chips and peanuts and stir well.
04:27 Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 5 days.
04:45 Once dough is nearly ready to bake, preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line several baking sheets with parchment paper.
04:53 Remove dough from fridge and scoop into about 2 Tablespoon-sized balls. To make cookies more uniform and round, roll them between your palms into a smooth ball before placing on baking sheet. Space cookies at least 2” apart.
05:42 Transfer baking sheet to center rack of 350F (175C) oven and bake for 11-12 minutes. Cookies may appear slightly underdone in the centers, this is fine. Allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheet before removing and enjoying.
Notes
Peanut butter
May substitute crunchy peanut butter. For best results, avoid “natural” peanut butter where the oil separates out on top, as this can give the cookies a poor texture.
Storing
The cookie dough becomes quite firm when stored longer than several hours and will need to sit at room temperature until softened enough to scoop and roll.
After baking and cooling, store cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.
