1 cup all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup whole wheat flour, pastry variety |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon table salt |
3/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup chunky peanut butter, with salt |
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled |
1 large egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 1/2 ounces chocolate-covered peanuts |
Directions:
1. Place the oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Combine the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl; set aside. With an electric mixer on low speed, beat the brown sugar, peanut butter, and butter in a large bowl until combined. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until well blended. Add the flour mixture and beat until blended. Stir in the chocolate-covered peanuts and peanut butter chips.
3. Roll scant tablespoonfuls of the dough into 1-inch balls, making a total of 36 cookies. If necessary, dust your hands with flour to prevent the dough from sticking. Place the balls on the baking sheets about 2 inches apart, then press with a glass dipped in flour to make 1 1⁄2-inch rounds. Bake until set, 8 – 10 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through the baking. Let cool on the baking sheets on racks about 1 minute. With a spatula, transfer the cookies to racks and let cool completely. Yields 1 cookie per serving.
