Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
2 cups self-rising flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup salted peanuts
1 cup peanut butter chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300°F and lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, peanut butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until well combined. Add the eggs and stir until smooth.
Add the flour and stir until combined. Add the vanilla. Add the peanuts and peanut butter chips, reserving a few of each to sprinkle on the top. Stir to combine.
Spread the cookie dough mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the reserved peanuts and peanut butter chips. Bake for about 40 minutes or until the edges are set but the middle is still a bit jiggly. Cool completely before slicing.
