Peanut Butter Cookies with Honey Roasted Peanuts

This homemade soft peanut butter cookies recipe with honey roasted peanuts is unbelievably delicious. They smell incredible baking in the oven. I added chocolate chips to the dough - definitely the right decision.

We love peanut butter on this blog and are not short of great peanut butter dessert recipes you might want to try including Peanut Butter Cookie Bars with M&Ms, Peanut Butter Blossoms, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Ritz Bars.

I have now made these peanut butter cookies twice in the past three days.  They disappeared so quickly on Monday, there were multiple requests to make them again this week.

These cookies are sooo good.

I love the use of honey roasted peanuts combined with smooth peanut butter.

They really add a unique flavor to what you typically expect from a traditional peanut butter cookie.

The top of the cookies are crispy, the inside is soft and chewy, and the chocolate chips add a delicious pop of chocolate throughout.

These soft peanut butter cookies with honey roasted peanuts are such a delicious treat to share with friends and family, and the good news is, they are super easy to whip up.

If you prefer peanut butter cookies with no brown sugar, these are perfect for you as only granulated white sugar is included.

These are the best peanut butter cookies with honey roasted peanuts in the whole wide world.

I have very few recipes that involve a food processor on this blog because I like to keep things simple, but there are some instances where you just can't get around it.  I use the processor when the results are WORTH the extra effort.  I can tell you, process the honey roasted peanuts for the amazing flavor you gain in these cookies is worth it.

Hope you enjoy these are much as we did!
