<p>Preheat oven to 350°.</p>
<p>Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.  Set aside.</p>
<p>Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter until creamy (about 1 minute).  Gradually add sugar and brown sugar, beating until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Mix in vanilla extract.</p>
<p>Reduce mixer speed to low.  Add dry ingredients in three additions, mixing just until blended.  Stir in chocolate, peanut butter chips, and macadamia nuts just until blended.</p>
<p>Drop dough onto ungreased baking sheets, placing them 3 inches apart.*  Bake 11-13 minutes, until edges are golden brown.  Cool cookies on wire racks.</p>

<p>*The original recipe suggests scooping dough using a 1/4-cup cookie scoop, which yields 32 cookies.  I used a 1 tablespoon scoop, which yields about 60 cookies. You may need to adjust baking time depending on the size of your cookies. </p>

<td class="ingredients">
<ul class="ingredients">
<li>1 &#038; 3/4 cups all-purpose flour</li>
<li>2 teaspoons baking soda</li>
<li>1 teaspoon salt</li>

<li>1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar</li>
<li>2 large eggs</li>
<li>1 teaspoon vanilla extract</li>
<li>1 cup creamy peanut butter</li>
<li>6 ounces good milk chocolate, coarsely chopped</li>
<li>granulated sugar or sanding sugar, for sprinkling</li>
</ul>
</td>
<td class="directions">
<p>Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt.  Set aside.</p>
<p>Using an electric mixer, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.  Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Add vanilla and peanut butter.  Beat until combined.</p>
<p>Add half of flour mixture.  Mix for 15 seconds.  Add remaining flour mixture and mix just until combined.  Fold in chocolate.  Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.</p>
<p>Preheat oven to 375°.  Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.</p>
<p>Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.  Using the palm of your hand, gently press each cookie down so that it forms a tall disk shape.  Be sure not to press too hard or press cookies too flat.</p>
<p>Sprinkle tops of cookies with granulated sugar or sanding sugar.  Bake 10-12 minutes, until tops of cookies just begin to brown.</p>
<p>Cool cookies on pan on wire rack for 5 minutes.  Transfer cookies to rack to cool completely.  Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.</p>
<p>Makes about 24 cookies.</p>
