Original Recipe Yield 5 dozen cookies
 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 1/2 cups salted peanuts

Directions
