    Recipe Introduction


    If chocolate and peanut butter is a combo you enjoy, this recipe is for you! Roasted peanuts add just enough crunch to take these cookies to the next level.

    List of Ingredients




    1/2 cup butter, softened
    1/2 cup shortening
    1 cup chunky peanut butter
    1 cup granulated sugar
    1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
    2 large eggs
    2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1 cup unsalted dry-roasted peanuts
    1 (11.5-ounce) bag chocolate chunks


    Recipe



    Beat butter and shortening at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; add chunky peanut butter and sugars, beating well. Add eggs, beating until blended.

    Combine flour and next 4 ingredients. Add to butter mixture, beating well.

    Stir in peanuts and chocolate chunks.

    Shape dough into 2-inch balls (about 2 tablespoons for each cookie). Flatten slightly, and place on ungreased baking sheets.

    Bake at 375° for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on pan 1 to 2 minutes; remove to wire rack to cool completely.

    Double Chocolate Chunk-Peanut Cookies: Reduce flour to 2 cups; add 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa, sifted. Proceed as directed.

    Yield: Makes 28 cookies
