1/2 c. cocoa powder
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1/2 c. unsalted butter, softened

2 t. vanilla extract
1 c. semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup roasted unsalted peanuts

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
2) In a medium bowl whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt and set aside.
3) In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (you can also use a hand mixer) cream together the butter, peanut butter, sucanat and evaporated cane juice. Add each egg one at a time and let mix until well incorporated.. Add the vanilla. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients a little at a time until they are well incorporated. Using a spoon stir in the chocolate chips and the peanuts.
4) Form 2 inch balls of dough and place them on the baking sheets. Sprinkle a small amount of salt on top of each cookie and bake for 12-14 minutes until the outside edges begin to set, but the insides are still soft. Cool cookies completely before serving.
