1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Shape chilled dough into fat disks about 2 1/2 inches
in diameter and 1/2-inch thick
(slightly less than 3 tablespoons of dough for each cookie).
Place cookies on baking sheet
1 1/2 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.
4. 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.
Yield: About 20 cookies.
