Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 large egg (room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup chopped peanuts (salted or unsalted)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in chopped peanuts evenly throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto prepared baking sheets about two inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned; centers should remain soft. Let cool on wire racks before enjoying.
