Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line baking sheet(s) with parchment paper or silicone baking mats or spray with nonstick spray.

Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric handheld mixer at high speed for 30 seconds. Add the egg and vanilla and continue mixing until light and fluffy. Add the cocoa, flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and baking powder and mix at low speed until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and peanuts.

Scoop using a medium-sized cookie scoop or teaspoon onto the prepared baking sheets, 12 cookies per pan. Bake cookies one pan at a time in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until just slightly soft looking on top. Let cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling while you bake the remaining pans of cookies. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Chill for Perfection 🧊
Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and create a richer, more developed flavor profile.
Chip Layering Technique 🍫
Gently press additional chocolate and peanut butter chips onto the top of each cookie dough ball before baking to create a more visually appealing and chip-loaded cookie.
Cornstarch Magic 🥣
The cornstarch in this recipe is the secret to creating an ultra-soft, tender cookie texture by preventing gluten formation and adding moisture.
Precise Measuring Hack 📏
Use a kitchen scale to measure dry ingredients for maximum accuracy, especially with flour and cocoa powder, which can significantly impact cookie texture.
Room Temperature Rule 🌡️
Ensure all ingredients, especially butter and eggs, are at room temperature to create a more uniform and smoother cookie dough that incorporates ingredients more effectively.
