  Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle, beat butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add peanut butter and mix until fully combined, about 30 seconds; add eggs one at a time, and vanilla and mix until combined, about 30 seconds. Reduce speed to low and add dry ingredients; mix until combined, about 30 seconds. Mix in ground peanuts just until combined. Give a final stir to ensure that no flour pockets remain and ingredients are evenly distributed.
