These unique cookies have a combination of ingredients that help to create a surprisingly crisp cookie with a soft center. Go ahead, make them - you'll love them!
Prepare peanuts by measuring 1 cup, then chop in a food processor until coarse crumbs. Set aside.
1 cup peanuts (personally, I use honey roasted)
Cream butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 3 minutes.
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup light brown sugar
Add eggs one at a time, mixing until incorporated after each egg.
2 large eggs
Add vanilla extract and mix. The mixture may look curdled after the vanilla, but this is normal.
1 tsp vanilla extract
Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add the sifted ingredients to the mixer and mix.
2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp kosher salt
Add the rolled oats, cornflakes, and prepared peanut mix until everything is incorporated.
1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup cornflakes
Using a cookie scoop, drop cookies onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 8-12 minutes until slightly puffed and golden brown.
Remove from oven and cool on pan for 5 minutes then completely on a cooling rack.
