Calories 642kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened 1 stick
- ½ cup Crisco
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped peanuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
- Using an electric stand or hand mixer, mix the butter, crisco and peanut butter together until creamy.
- Add granulated sugar and brown sugar. Mix until combined.
- Beat in eggs one at a time.
- Slowly add in flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until combined.
- Stir chocolate chips and peanuts.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop dough into balls about 1.5 Tablespoons each.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes on a baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
- Don’t mix the dough too much! If you do, you could ruin the consistency of the cookies. Just mix everything in order until combined.
- Let the cookies cool for just a few minutes on the baking sheet before you transfer them to a wire rack. If you try to move them too soon, they’ll break apart.
- You can swap the white chocolate chips for milk chocolate, but I find that the way the white chocolate pairs with the peanut butter is heavenly!
