Coarse-grained sea salt does not melt into the batter, so you experience a crunchy burst with every bite. Use any other nut you like in place of peanuts. Ingredients:
1/3 cup coarsely chopped unsalted, dry-roasted peanuts |
1 cup all-purpose flour (about 4 1/2 ounces) |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 large egg |
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips |
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Place nuts in a small baking pan. Bake at 350° for 8 minutes or until lightly toasted; cool.
3. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda, stirring well with a whisk.
4. Place sugars and butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 2 minutes). Add vanilla and egg; beat until combined. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture; beat at low speed until well blended. Stir in peanuts, chocolate chips, and salt.
5. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on pans 5 minutes. Remove cookies from pans; cool completely on wire racks.
