How To Make pete's peanut choco-delight cookies

Step 1

Chop honey roasted peanuts to 1/8 inch, do not sift the sugar coating, but include it in mix

Step 2

Combine flour, Baking soda, baking cocoa and salt in a seperate bowl. Fluff with a fork for even distribution of ingredients.
Step 3

Be patient with this step to achieve an even mix. Beat butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract slowly until creamy. Mix eggs one at a time and allow mix to absorb them. SLOWLY (about 1/2 cup at a time, sprinkling over mixing bowl) add flour/cocoa mixture and allow mixer to beat well. Once creamy, STIR in nuts and morsels alternating about 2 TBSP at a time to allow even distribution.
Step 4

Preheat oven to 375 F
Step 5

Drop cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheet, about one rounded tablespoon per cookie.
Step 6

Bake 8-9 minutes for chewy texture, 11-12 minutes for harder texture. Cool on baking sheet 3-4 minutes, then completely cool on wire racks.
Step 7

Makes about 4 dozen cookies. Enjoy!
