Baking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar and blend until smooth.
- Beat in the large eggs one at a time, then pour in the vanilla extract and whisk until smooth.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, then gradually fold into the wet mixture.
- Fold in chocolate chips and optional chopped peanuts, ensuring even distribution.
- Drop heaping balls of dough onto the baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and centers are slightly soft; they will continue cooking as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes
Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it's too warm, and use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter. Bake until slightly underbaked in the center for a chewy texture.
