Who doesn't love a peanut butter cookie?
1/2 cup salted peanuts
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Sprinkles or sugar
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine the peanuts and granulated sugar in a food processor and process until finely ground and beginning to clump. Pour the mixture into a small nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring often until lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Pour into a large bowl and let cool.
- Stir the peanut butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla into the peanut mixture with a rubber spatula until combines. Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough and arrange 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared pans. Gently press the back of a fork on top of each piece of dough twice to flatten slightly and make hatch marks (dip the fork in water if it gets sticky). Sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake, switching pans halfway through until the cookies are just set around the edges but not totally firm. 15 to 16 minutes. Let cool completely on the pans.
