Ingredients
  

  • ¾ c coconut oil soft, not melted but still solid or butter (1 ½ sticks, 170 g)
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • ⅔ c brown sugar well packed
  • ⅓ c coconut sugar or regular granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose gluten free flour blend or regular AP flour
  • 2 teaspoon arrowroot starch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup EACH:
  • Milk chocolate chips Semi-sweet chips, Dark Chocolate chips (you can also use peanut butter chips, white chocolate whatever. Just make sure its 3 cups total)
  • 1 cup dry roasted peanuts salted or unsalted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 deg f. Prepare baking sheets with either parchment or silicone bake mats.
  • Sift together in a small bowl and set aside: flour, arrowroot starch, baking soda and salt. Set aside
  • In a bowl of a stand mixer cream coconut oil or butter with sugars until light and fluffy, about 3-4 min. Add in the egg and vanilla and mix again well for another minute until all is combined. Slowly add in the flour mixture and mix until just combined, don’t over mix. Stir in the chocolate chips and peanuts with a spatula. You may have to actually have to mix with your hands to get them all mixed in.
  • Scoop dough into heaping tablespoon sized balls placed 2” apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 10-13 min until the edges are starting to turn brown. Cool for 5 min on sheets, then transfer to wire cooling racks to cool completely.

Notes

You can make these either with butter, regular all purpose flour and corn starch instead of the coconut oil, gluten free flour and arrowroot starch I like the flavor of using the coconut sugar - gives it a more caramel taste, if you can't find it date sugar would work so would organic dehydrated cane juice (organic sugar) I slightly under bake my cookies - gives them a more chewy inside. Arrowroot starch is a thickener similar to corn starch. I just prefer using corn starch. Its sort of a "secret" ingredient in cookies that makes them a little softer and chewier. Totally an optional ingredient and you can use corn starch instead if you can't find arrowroot. I use Bob's Redmill brand of arrowroot starch
