1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets
Adjust your oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two 18 by 13-inch rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and table salt.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the dark brown sugar, creamy peanut butter, eggs, melted and cooled butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Using a rubber spatula, stir until the dough forms. Stir in the chopped peanuts until evenly distributed.
5. Form and Flatten Cookie Dough
Roll the dough into balls, each about 2 tablespoons in size, and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them evenly. Gently flatten each dough ball to about 2 inches in diameter.
6. Bake Cookies
Bake the cookies one sheet at a time in your preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the sheet halfway through. The cookies are done when the edges are just set and beginning to brown.
7. Cool and Serve
Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Fold in semisweet or milk chocolate chips into the dough before baking.
Dip baked cookies into melted chocolate and let set.
Use white chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, or chopped dark chocolate bars instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Mix in chopped peanuts, pecans, or walnuts and consider toasting them first for enhanced flavor.
Spread peanut butter or frosting between two cookies.
