Honey Roasted Peanut Chocolate Chip Cookies

It there anything better than a peanut butter cookie?

I am not sure that there is. They are rich, moist, nutty, and they have a subtle savoriness that balances the sweetness making them easy to eat. When it is gift giving season I bake tons of cookies to give as gifts, and peanut butter cookies are among the most requested. I may not know your taste in clothes, perfume, or music, but I know cookies are almost always greeted with great joy! Who wouldn’t be filled with joy when presented with peanut butter cookies studded with chopped honey roasted peanuts and dark chocolate chips? Not me, that is for sure.

This recipe is sure to satisfy the peanut lover in you life. Not only is the dough itself flavored with peanut butter, but mixed into the dough are roughly chopped honey roasted peanuts and, because I like them and they play so well with peanut butter, dark chocolate chips. This cookie is a little like a sand tart in texture, it is a little crumbly but still moist. I like these with a cup of strong coffee, and my co-workers – who selflessly tested for me – liked them with cold milk. These stay fresh in an airtight container for up to three days, so they are great to make ahead and share. Or eat all by yourself. You know I don’t judge.

Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges and set. Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy!
