Equipment

baking sheet(s)
parchment paper
mixing bowl
measuring cups & spoons
electric handheld mixer
silicone spatula

Ingredients

¾ cup salted butter * softened
¾ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar packed
1 whole egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup cocoa powder (I use Dutch-processed cocoa)
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup white chocolate chips
½ cup peanut butter chips
½ cup salted roasted peanuts

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line baking sheet(s) with parchment paper or silicone baking mats or spray with nonstick spray.
Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar with an electric handheld mixer at high speed for 30 seconds. Add the egg and vanilla and continue mixing until light and fluffy. Add the cocoa, flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and baking powder and mix at low speed until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and peanuts.
Scoop using a medium-sized cookie scoop or teaspoon onto the prepared baking sheets, 12 cookies per pan. Bake cookies one pan at a time in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until just slightly soft looking on top. Let cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling while you bake the remaining pans of cookies. Enjoy!

Notes

Add ½ teaspoon of salt to the recipe if using unsalted butter.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
