| 1 1/2 cups |
all-purpose flour |
375 mL |
| 1/2 tsp |
baking soda |
2 mL |
| 1/2 tsp |
salt |
2 mL |
| 1 cup |
peanut butter |
250 mL |

10 mL |
| 1 1/2 cups |

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º F (180º C).
In a small bowl, stir flour with baking soda and salt until well blended. In a large bowl, beat peanut butter with butter until smooth and creamy. Beat in brown and granulated sugar until light. Then beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour mixture until combined. Stir in chocolate covered peanuts.
Roll dough into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls, spacing about 2 inches (5 cm) apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Dip a glass in granulated sugar and flatten balls slightly. Garnish with peanut halves if desired, pressing gently into cookie.
Bake in centre of preheated oven until cookies are a light golden colour and tops are firm to the touch, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool. Store in an airtight container.
