Ingredients

  • 1 cup (227 g) Butter unsalted room temperature
  • cup (146.67 g) Light brown sugar
  • ½ cup (100 g) Sugar white
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla bean paste
  • 2 ½ cups (312.5 g) All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ½ cup (90 g) Milk chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup (59.15 g) Caramel Chips Lieber's
  • ¼ cup (36.5 g) Peanuts dry roasted granules

Instructions

  • Weigh or measure both sugars into a bowl and set it aside. In another bowl, weigh or measure the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, then whisk to blend.
  • Using a mixer, cream the butter for a minute, then add the sugars and mix on medium speed for 3 minutes. Add the vanilla bean paste, then one egg at a time, mixing until combined. Scrape down the bowl, then on low speed, add the flour mixture about a third at a time. Finally, add the chocolate and caramel chips along with the peanuts. Mix for about 30 seconds. Loosely cover and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C or 180°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, then use a medium cookie scoop to place 12 mounds of dough onto the pan. Bake for 12–14 minutes. Once out of the oven, let the cookies sit on the pan for 1 minute before transferring them to a cooling rack.
