These cookies are packed with creamy peanut butter, crunchy peanut nougat, and enriched with peanut butter chips, making them the ultimate treat for peanut butter lovers!
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the peanut butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually blend into the peanut butter mixture.
Stir in the peanut butter chips, chopped peanut nougat, and optional chopped peanuts until evenly distributed.
Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
