Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup the so-called non-trans-fat margarine
- 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup palm sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chunky peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup plain roasted peanuts
- 330 g dark cooking chocolate, chopped (I used Tulip brand)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven at 190 degree celcius. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and cinnamon.
2. Beat butter, margarine, granulated sugar, palm sugar and salt at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; add chunky peanut butter and sugars, beat well. Add eggs, beat until blended.
3. Add flour mixture into butter mixture, beat well.
4. Stir in peanuts and chocolate chunks.
5. Shape dough into 2-inch balls (about 2 tablespoons for each cookie, I used ice cream scoop). Flatten slightly, and place on ungreased baking sheets.
6. Bake for 8 to 15 minutes, depending on how many cookies you bake in one batch, or until lightly browned. Cool on pan 1 to 2 minutes; remove to wire rack to cool completely.
