List of Ingredients



• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
  
• 1 cup salted butter, softened but still firm
  
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
  
• 1 cup granulated sugar
  
• 1 cup extra crunchy peanut butter
  
• 2 large eggs
  
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
  
• 1 cup roasted salted peanuts, ground in a food processor to resemble bread crumbs, about 14 pulses
  






Instructions



1. Adjust oven rack to low center position. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
   
2. Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl, set aside.
   
3. Either by hand or with an electric mixer, beat butter until creamy. Add sugars; beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes with electric mixer, stopping to scrape down bowl as necessary. Beat in peanut butter until fully incorporated, then eggs, one at a time, then vanilla. Gently stir dry ingredients into peanut butter mixture. Add ground peanuts, stir gently until just incorporated.
   
4. Working with generous 2 tablespoons each time, roll dough into 2 inch balls. Place balls on parchment lined cookie sheet, leaving 2 1/2 inches between each ball. Press each dough ball twice with dinner fork dipped in cold water to make crisscross design. Bake until cookies are puffed and slightly brown along the edges (but not on top, they will look slightly underbaked) about 10 to 12 minutes.
   
5. Yield: About 3 dozen
