Coworker brought some cookies to work that his mom made a week ago and
his kids wouldn't eat them. Chocolate chip cookies (kind of tasted like
the Tollhouse recipe) with peanuts added instead of walnuts or pecans or
"girl cookies".

I really liked the peanut taste, even better than more expensive nuts.
If I want to make some, should I use skinless raw peanuts, or unsalted
roasted peanuts?

I would use salted roasted but you can use unsalted if you want. I wouldn't
use raw ones at all.

Thanks. I didn't know if they might roast enough while the cookies baked.

I don't think they would.

I second what Steve wrote. I find uncooked peanuts rather repulsive, like raw sunflower seeds or raw potatoes.
