• 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1 cup white whole wheat flour (you can replace with all purpose, I just prefer 1/2 whole wheat)
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 sticks butter
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup raw peanuts, skins removed if preferred

Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Roast peanuts on baking sheet for about 15 minutes until light golden brown.

Place in shallow bowl, and set aside.
With electric mixture, cream peanut butter, butter and sugars. Beat in eggs, one at a time, and then vanilla extract.

Sift all dry ingredients together in a bowl (except nuts). Slowly add to peanut butter mixture, beat until just blended.

Roll a teaspoonful or two of dough and flatten slightly. Roll sides in peanuts, making sure to push them in a bit so they don’t fall out. It’s ok if it’s a little messy.

Place flat side down and 2 inches apart on baking sheet (you don’t need to line with parchment paper, but it won’t hurt).

Optional: Gently flatten top of cookie with spatula or fork.
Bake for 12 minutes or until light golden brown.
