Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually stir the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped peanuts.
  7. Scoop the dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them two inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, rotating halfway through.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
