Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the brown sugar, peanut butter, egg, melted butter, honey, vanilla extract, and chopped peanuts together until well-combined.
  3. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Stir in just until combined.
  5. Scoop 1.5 tablespoon scoops of dough and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet.
  6. Gently flatten the dough for thinner cookies or leave mounded for thicker cookies.
  7. Bake for 8-11 minutes, or until the centers are soft and the edges are set.
  8. Let cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

  • Brown sugar: I use light brown sugar, but dark brown sugar will work equally well in this recipe.
  • Peanut Butter: I use regular creamy peanut butter, not natural peanut butter in these cookies. 
  • Peanuts: I use lightly salted peanuts in this recipe. Feel free to use unsalted if you prefer. 
  • Salt: If you don't have kosher salt, use 1/4 teaspoon salt instead. 
  • Baking: The cookies should look soft in the centers with set edges. Slightly underbaking the cookies helps to keep them soft and chewy. Overbaking the cookies will give you a crunchier cookie. 
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
