Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookies

June 5, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 26 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I have a recipe to help you get through that mid-week hump!  This cookie are simply amazing!!!!  So amazing that I only ate two, because my Husband took them ALL to work by mistake.  He thought they were his weekly chocolate chip cookies.  I get a text when I was at work and he said, hey Hun, the cookies you made are really good, but I think I may have taken the wrong ones.  These taste like peanut butter!  Ugh….  My facial expression changed, my heart sunk and I was stuck at work.  I panicked and said yes your cookies are in the freezer.   He said, sorry, but these are really good.  All I thought was he probably only took like 5 or 6 cookies, so I skipped my workout to run home for cookies, only to find the bag was gone.  THE WHOLE BAG!!!!!!!!!  Gosh darn it he took them all.  Now he and his Friends are eating MY cookies!!  Then to top it off, I asked so did you eat all the cookies, he replied nope, I still left some on my tool box.  What the heck!  He had leftover cookies and didn’t even bring them back home.  I was so sad!!!  So sad!!!  I would have made more but I didn’t have all the ingredients!  🙁  But they shall be made again!!

Peanut Butter and Pretzel Cookies

Lucky for me, the memories will last with the pictures I am posting.  By the way these are Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies!  I got the recipe for these cookies from Michelle from Brown Eyed Baker.  She posted them last week, and when I saw them, I knew I must have them in my belly!!!   Big thank you to Michelle for giving me permission to share her recipe with you.  These cookies are one of the best!    Nothing beats salty pretzels and peanut butter, oh baby!!!

Peanut Butter and Pretzel Cookies


You know how I LOVE peanut butter and pretzels together from recipes like my Chocolate Pretzel Almond Chickapea Balls.

Loving my balls!

Or my Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pretzel Balls….

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pretzel Balls

And my Honey Roasted Pretzel Peanut Butter.  Yum!!

Honey Roasted Pretzel Peanut Butter

Michelle’s cookies are soft, sweet, chocolaty and best of all peanut buttery!  The pretzels added to the cookies give a nice texture plus a nice hint of saltiness.   I did change-up Michelle’s recipe just a bit, only by exchanging the shortening for butter and adding only 1 cup of brown sugar instead of 1 1/4 cups, but the rest is the same.  Because I didn’t use shortening in the cookies, my cookies are a bit more soft.  Michelle said to roll the cookies, but my dough was pretty soft, so I just scooped it with my cookie scoop.  I did ask my Husband how they held up and said great.  For a man who doesn’t like peanut butter, he certainly loved these cookies!  Darn him!!

Peanut Butter and Pretzel Cookies

I know these cookies are not my normally way healthy cookie that I normally make, but the stats are better than I thought they would be and it’s good to treat yourself every once in a while.  Oh and I made these cookies pretty big too!  I filled my cookie scoop to the rim with batter, you could always make them smaller.

I know you probably all know Michelle’s blog “Browned Eyed Baker”, but if you don’t, you should really check it out!  Her recipes are all amazing and in case you didn’t know, I also made her Cherry Coke Cupcakes for Little Jenny’s birthday.  They were a hit, but I wasn’t surprised.

Have a great day everyone!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    I love adding crushes pretzels to my desserts. I’m definitely a fan of the salty/sweet combo and the crunch that pretzels add. And I’m surprised at the nutrition facts for these cookies too! Definitely pinning these to make very soon. 🙂

It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I It’s time for my annual pumpkin bath picture. I don’t know what it is, but I love to give pumpkins a bath. Don’t they look cute bathing in the sunlight with bubbles around them? lol
🎃
There are two methods that I have used  in the past; the chlorine bath and the dish soap bath. This is what I have learned.
🎃
My favorite and only way I wash pumpkins now is using dish soap.  It gets rid of the sap and makes them clean. I soak my pumpkins for about 20 minutes. The pumpkins will last until December. Plus if you keep your pumpkins after the holidays it will decay and grow pumpkins the following year. Plus it’s safe for animals that may nibble on your pumpkin.
🎃
The chlorine bath method will make your pumpkins last possibly up to a year. They take very long to break down and I never got my pumpkins to seed themselves. Plus it is not safe for animals in my opinion. Though Clorox Bleach says it’s safe, they just taste salty.
🎃
The key to washing pumpkins is to make sure that you get the area around the stem dry. You don’t want water around the stem. This could make your pumpkin rot sooner. So after the bath, dry your pumpkins off very good. 
🎃
Did you get your pumpkins yet?
.
PS if you are in the Bay Area, I highly recommend going to @threenunnsfarm to get your pumpkins. They have a wide variety and the pumpkins and are .75 a pound. I bought all these pumpkins for $42.

🦇
To add Fall or Halloween you don’t need to add a lot, just a few touches here and there. I will give a full tour in stories and tag a few items. Majority of the decor came from @krumpetshomedecor and the towels and bat banner from @theblessedpeach

Have the best day!

Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s sta Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s starting to feel like Fall here in Northern California. The mornings and evenings are feeling crisp. I can’t get over that we are in the middle of September. Where did the Summer go?
🎃
I’m sharing with you the corner of my living room where I store my pumpkins that I grew before I can take them outside. It’s been too warm for them and I want them to last through October. They have been doing well, as they have been here since the middle of August. 
🎃
I’m excited because this Saturday our local pumpkin patch will be opening. They have a huge variety of pumpkins and very inexpensive too. I’ll be stocking up. I just love this time of year.
🎃
Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reach Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reached out to me asking if I am okay. I am doing just fine. I’ve taken a little break from posting here because I have been busy on the dogs Instagram page. It’s hard to keep up on both. The dog page is so busy with birthdays, events and engagement. They have a busier social life than me.

I am sharing with you the last view of my kitchen before it is filled with Halloween. I spent 6 hours yesterday cleaning all the cabinets, appliances, sink and floor. I even did the windows. It sure tired me out. I’m not as young as I used to be. But it is so sparkly clean. I did put up my Halloween and I can’t wait to share with you. The dining room is the next room to conquer.

Have a wonderful day!!

Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page today because I got the best gift in the whole world and it even came in the mail on my birthday. How did @downlitebedding know? They are so good!
🐾
Downlite Bedding sent me the EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s so soft, cozy, hypoallergenic and it makes me so happy. 
🐾
The comforter is 400 thread count, it has moisture wicking and cooling technology to help regulate body temperature, which is perfect since I get warm in the summer with all my hair and I like to be cool when I’m sleeping. A big plus is the comforter is white, I hide very well in it. It’s hard to see me. So mama can’t catch me on her bed. 
🐾
The EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter also has a Scotchguard stain release fabric and machine wash and dry. It’s truly an amazing comforter.
🐾
Mama let me do this takeover today because she knows that I love @downlitebedding as much as she does. She said she has never seen me get so excited as I do when we get Downlite Bedding and pillows in the mail. How can I not get excited? It’s like sleeping on a cloud!
🐾
Downlite Bedding was kind enough to give us a 20% discount:  DYGEN20 
🐾
Have a great day and happy napping!
🐾
❤️Samuel

Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I took a couple weeks ago. My garden really overgrew this season. I need to do some major work in it, but with the heat, it’s just unbearable to be out there too long.
🌼
I had a lot of zinnias self-seed this season which is cool, but they kind of took over. They crowded out some plants, so I need to get in there and pull some out. Plus being so crowded, they got powdery mildew. Yuck!
🌼
I’m thinking for the Fall making this area a little harvest pumpkin area. We will see. I have grand ideas in my head, but I don’t always follow through. lol
🌼
How your garden growing? I lost all my potted plants from the heat. 😩

Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcut Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcuterie setup for my husband and I. This is something that I just love to do. I could just eat this type of meal all day long. 

I am sharing the “All White Collection” from @bzaar_wholesale. Each piece to the collection is so elegant and can be used all year round and would be gorgeous around the holidays.

The tray is made of marble with beautiful gold handles. The cheese knives are gold with solid marble handles and compliments the tray perfectly.

I used the marble flower shaped bowl for putting chocolates, but would be so stunning to use on your coffee table, side table and more.

The cake stand is has a marble base with Mother of Pearl edging and has a glass lid to go over the top. I will be putting my cakes and cookies on it in the future, but for now I used it to place my bruschetta.

@bzaar_wholesale has amazing products for your home, great pricing and global shipping. The link is in my bio.

Do you like making charcuterie boards? What do you add to yours?

Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I can’t resist putting out some Fall. Especially when you get new decor from @12timbers.  You would laugh if you came into my living-room. Half my room is Fall, the other half is still coastal blues. lol I’ll eventually change it all out.
🍂
Let’s talk the art work. Isn’t it stunning? My husband never says anything about my decor, but he keeps talking about how much he likes the framed art from 12 Timbers. I agree, it’s so beautiful. It reminds me of when I lived back east and we would go to Letchworth Park in NY. The colors are stunning and goes perfectly with the burnt orange color that I’m using this season.
🍂
I just adore the wooden cut out pumpkins from @12Timbers. When I look at them they make me smile. The orange wooden leaf is the perfect piece to bring everything together. This gets me so excited for Fall decorating. Now to finish the rest of the living room.
🍂
12 Timbers is so kind to give me a discount code. It’s good until Saturday at midnight. The code is PBANDP15.
🍂
Have the most beautiful day!

Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignett Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignette. Notice anything that seems a tad early? It’s my first pumpkin from my garden. Can you believe it? They started to grow early this season so it’s time to start picking. Unfortunately the massive one I showed you a couple weeks ago didn’t make it. It collapsed in the middle. That makes me sad, but at least I have more pumpkins growing.
🎃
I really had fun bringing out some Fall decor. Fall is not my favorite season, as I love Spring and Summer, but Fall is my favorite to decorate for.
🎃
I wanted to share with you my new reversible blocks from @krumpetshomedecor. Aren’t they cute. They would look so pretty on a shelf. The one side says Fall and the other side says Boo! The two wooden pumpkins are also from Krumpets Home Decor.
🎃
The Fall blocks are the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.

Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is a nice cold glass of lemonade. I like it a tad sour over sweet. It gives you the zippys in your mouth. I do love a good homemade lemonade, but once in awhile I like to cheat and just get my favorite store brand and add some freshly cut lemons and a few sprigs of mint. It then looks homemade when it’s not.
🍋
This is my outdoor dining area. I put the tablecloth over the table and have kept it like that all summer. I love my table, but being black, it’s extremely hot when you touch it. Plus it has water spots from last year which is annoying. Not sure how to get rid of them? 
🍋
What is your favorite summer drink? Have a wonderful day!
