Salted Peanut Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Up until this afternoon, I didn't believe there could be anything more perfect than a good chocolate chip cookie. And then I added some salted peanuts.

It is not every day that you can take a timeless classic like the chocolate chip cookie and take it up a notch. This Salted Peanut Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe does just that. We used Ghiradelli milk chocolate chips in these cookies, along with salt roasted peanuts. The two proved to be a match made in cookie heaven. Soft in the center and crispy on the outside, the combination of high quality chocolate and salted peanuts helps to launch these cookies clear over the top.

Instructions

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 ½ inches in diameter and ½-inch thick (slightly less than 3 tablespoons of dough for each cookie). Place cookies on baking sheet 1 ½ 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.

The recipe sounds good but it calls for "6 ounces 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter" Which is it? 6 ounces, or 1 1/2 sticks butter? Since it only makes 20 cookies, I am assuming it is the 6 ounces which is less than one stick of butter.

  One stick of butter is 4 oz., so it will be 1 ½ sticks.

  Each stick is 4 oz, so 1-1/2 sticks is 6 oz

  In remarks, you said you used milk chocolate chips, but the recipe says semi sweet. Which?

  I believe you are confusing ounces with tablespoons. Most recipes I use list the butter content as 8 tablespoons or 1 stick (or whatever is called for) To be honest, I had to look at a stick of butter and sure enough, it is 4 ounces!

  Six ounces is 1 1/2 sticks of butter. You may be confusing 6 Tablespoons (less than 1 stick) with 6 ounces.
