Chocolate Spanish Peanut Cookies

Not your regular run-of-the-mill chocolate chip cookie. Funnily enough, in israel, spanish peanuts are called american peanuts.

Preheat the oven to 350f.

In a bowl , combine the butter and sugar , and , using an electric mixer , beat until light and creamy.

Beat in the eggs and vanilla and continue to mix for 2 minutes.

In another bowl , stir together the flour , cocoa , baking soda , and salt.

Gradually stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture.

Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts.

Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a baking sheet , leaving 2 inches between each mound of dough.

Bake until set , 10-12 minutes.

Let cool for several minutes on the baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack.

The cookies will be soft and chewy.
