Cookies with peanut butter and peanut pieces

Preheat the oven to 180°C (top and bottom heat). Cream the butter/margarine, peanut butter, both sugars, and vanilla sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat everything for at least 1 minute until creamy. Mix the flour with the baking soda, sift it in, and knead everything into a smooth, sticky dough. Roughly chop the peanuts and knead in. Form the dough into balls with a diameter of 1.5 to 2 cm, place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, and flatten them with the palm of your hand or a fork. Leave enough space between them, as the cookies will spread during baking. I put a maximum of 8 dough balls on a baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned. After baking, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes until they are firm enough to transfer to a wire rack to cool further. The cookies have a wonderfully peanutty flavor and are super crispy.
