Add some extra crunch to your next batch of double chocolate cookies with peanuts. It’s the perfect flavor and texture combo.
When I started baking I was surely not a cookie baker! I just thought cookies were far from the challenge I needed. I have come to better senses ever since though and now I am baking cookies whenever I get the chance to… because, let’s face it, they are the perfect little sweet snack whenever our sweet tooth goes a little bit crazy! 
These chocolate peanut cookies are super chocolatey (heeeellloooo, 300g of pure dark chocolate!) and the contrast created by the addition of salty and crunchy peanuts is so delicious! I mean, come on, chocolate and salt are best friends, even more so when the salt comes on a handful of flavorful peanuts!
