Chunky Peanut Butter Cookies

THE THING THAT SEPARATES THESE FROM EVERY OTHER PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE IS THE CHUNKY FACTOR. WHOLE SALTED PEANUTS. BEING A BIG FAN OF A GOOD CRUNCH, THESE WERE A HIT WITH ME.

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1 egg
1/2 cup salted peanuts
1/2 cup chocolate chips

1. Mix dry ingredients together.
2. Cream butter, sugars and peanut butter. Add egg. Gradually add flour mixture. Stir in nuts and chocolate chips.
3. Refrigerate dough if it needs to be firmed up. Roll into balls and bake in a 350 degree oven for 12-14 minutes.
