We are already at the time of year when we most like to prepare baked desserts like these chocolate chip cookies with a special ingredient: baked peanuts without salt. We really like Naú brand, this version without salt is ideal for cooking because it adds a delicious touch of flavor without altering the recipe with added salt.

This cookie recipe is the basic one that we love to make, the cookies come out with the chewy texture that we love, and adding peanuts elevates them to another level completely. The chocolate chips can be the ones you like the most, we prefer mini semi-sweet chocolate chips for these cookies. You can use a combination of semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips, or even white chocolate chips.

We hope you try this recipe! When you bake these, you might want to make a double batch – because they will be gone fast!
