- Chocolate chips — Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture in the cookies.
- Roasted peanuts — The addition of roasted peanuts adds a delightful crunch to the cookies. Feel free to omit them if you prefer a nut-free version.
- Butter — Ensure that the butter is softened at room temperature for easy creaming with the sugars.
