Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup peanut butter about 8 ounces, smooth
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 stick, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup peanut butter chips

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Prepare two baking sheets, lining with silpat or parchment paper. Set aside.
- Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl, set aside.
- Cream together the butter, peanut butter, white and brown sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in egg and vanilla until well combined.
- Turn off mixer, add flour mixture. Beat until fully combined.
- Fold in peanut butter chips and peanuts.
- Scoop dough in to balls about 2 tablespoons each ( I used a cookie scoop). Spaced evenly apart on the baking sheet, 12 cookies per sheet. Use a fork to create the hashtag pattern. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt if desired. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until edges are starting to brown.
- Remove from oven and cool on a cooling rack for 5-10 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
