Peanut chocolate cookies – Crisp and chewy cookies loaded with grated chocolate and chopped peanuts. Move over peanut butter, there’s a new trend in town!
A couple of weeks ago I was talking with my friends Kelly and Jen about nuts and cookies. Opinions are divided, some like nuts in their cookies, some don’t. But even between those who loves nutty cookies, which ones to choose is another story.
The majority would probably say walnuts or almonds, and just around winter holidays pick macadamia or pistachios, but what about peanuts? Are they just for peanut butter cookies?
The first time I saw this recipe for peanut chocolate cookies I was a little skeptical. I was making assumptions, so to speak.
No worries, my friends. I’ve learned my lesson! Or so I hope.
These cookies are loaded with grated bittersweet chocolate and chopped roasted peanuts. They spread while baking turning out chewy with crispy edges. Sweet, nutty and chewy – all you need is a glass of cold milk!
Thinking it’s too hot to turn the oven on and make these cookies? I’ve got you covered! Two dozens of these cookies are up for grabs in my friend Megan’s online bake sale! Click on the image below for an array of irresistible cookies and details about the bake sale!

Nothing better than peanut butter and chocolate! These look so delicious and perfect for dunking in a tall glass of milk!
LOVE! Love, love chocolate and peanut butter…my all-time weakness! Thanks for sharing your cookie recipe, Roxy! And, happy first day of summer! xo
G’day! love peanut butter and chocolate combination, true!
Love the staging of your photos and could go for some of these now too!

These cookies look lovely. I am hit and miss with nuts in my cookies. Sometimes I love it, others not so much. I am thinking these would be perfect as an ice cream sandwich too.
Love these cookies, the roasted peanuts are such a tasty addition!
A glass of cold milk and a stack of these would be absolutely heavenly!!!
Chocolate and peanut…a heavenly combo!
Great recipe and nice clicks! Love them.
Those look adorable!

I love peanut butter and chocolate together. These look awesome!
Oh these look so yummy! Now I’m hankering for cookies and milk, and there goes the diet! 😉
about 3 or 4- who am I kidding- like 6 of these cookies and a big glass of ice coffee and I would be in my element!
Oh, what I would give for a glass of milk and a stack of those yummy cookies to appear on the desk in front of me. If I blink 3 times maybe???
I usually don’t like nuts in my baked goods but I make an exception for peanuts. I think their salty flavor goes perfectly with sweets!
