Baking Steps:
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Step 3: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Step 4: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Pour in the vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
- Step 5: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Step 6: Fold in the chocolate chips and peanuts gently.
- Step 7: Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop rounded balls of dough on prepared sheets, leaving space for spreading. Sprinkle with coarse salt.
- Step 8: Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers are still soft.
- Step 9: Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
