Ingredients

  • 2 sticks salted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar 
  • 2 eggs

  • In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients - flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix together and pour into the stand mixer. Mix for about 15-20 seconds.
  • Using an ice cream scraper, scoop out dough and roll into a flat disk/circle, about a ½ inch thick. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. (if you do not have an ice cream scooper, simply scoop out 2 tablespoons of dough). Space each cookie about 2 inches apart.
  • Optional: Press 5-10 peanuts on top of each cookie.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack to set and cool.
