Old-fashioned Peanut Cookies

I'm trying to develop a recipe for a salty/sweet cookie with the crunch of peanuts and cereal. I'm not saying this is the recipe, but it did produce a satisfying old-fashioned kind of cookie.

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup raisin bran cereal
  • 1 cup quick cooking oats
  • 1/2 cup salted Spanish peanuts including red skins
  • 1/2 cup butterscotch chips 
Methods:
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in the egg. Add the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix well. Add in the cereal, oats, peanuts and butterscotch chips. Mix just until combined. Roll balls of dough (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on  parchment lined cookie sheets. Flatten each cookie slightly. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to sit on the cookie sheet for 3 minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
