In a medium bowl, mix the melted butter with the sugars and honey until only about 50–60% of the sugar granules have dissolved.
Add the eggs in 2–3 additions, mixing after each, then add the vanilla extract.
Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
Add the sifted dry ingredients to the dough and mix by cutting through it with the spatula held upright. Mix evenly until no dry flour is visible.
Add the chopped peanuts and mix lightly.
Rest the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Divide the rested dough into 180–200g portions.
Place the portions on the baking sheet and pipe peanut butter on top.
Lower the preheated oven from 200°C to 185°C and bake for 10–13 minutes.
Once the cookies have cooled slightly, sprinkle them with coarse salt and the topping chopped peanuts.
