- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour (80g)

Instructions
Preparation and Baking
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fully combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped peanuts, if using.
- Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Top with extra chocolate chips and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. The edges should be set, while the centers remain slightly soft.
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze for up to three months, placing parchment between layers.
