SALTY PEANUT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Salty Peanut Chocolate Chip Cookies image

These cookies offer a terrific blend of salty and sweet, with the crunch of the peanuts lending a bit of texture to a chewy treat. They are also very easy to make and require only about an hour. But watch the timer - if they are overcooked, they will lose their chewiness.

Provided by Nigella Lawson

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time 50m

Yield About 20 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ounces (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 packed cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
1 cup salted peanuts

Steps:

  • Using a microwave oven or in a small saucepan, melt butter. Allow it to cool for about 5 minutes. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer or by hand, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat in vanilla, eggs, flour, baking powder and baking soda. Fold in chocolate morsels and peanuts.
  • Refrigerate bowl of cookie dough for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet (or two) with a nonstick liner or parchment paper.
  • Shape chilled dough into fat disks about 2 1/2 inches in diameter and 1/2-inch thick (slightly less than 3 tablespoons of dough for each cookie). Place cookies on baking sheet 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake until golden brown around edges and cracked and chewy in middle, about 15 minutes. If using two sheets, switch position of sheets halfway through baking. Remove cookies from oven while they are still soft in center or they will lose their chewiness as they cool.
  • Allow cookies to rest on baking sheets for about 3 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool. When completely cool, store in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter: Creamy peanut butter will give your cookies a smooth and velvety texture. If you only have chunky peanut butter, you can use it, but be sure to chop the peanuts into small pieces so that they don't overpower the other ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make your cookies tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to harden as they cool.

Conclusion:

These peanutty chocolate chip cookies are the perfect combination of sweet and salty. They're soft and chewy, with a generous amount of peanut butter and chocolate chips. They're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
