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. 🙂

    I would have been so ticked if my hubs took my beloved cookies! I don’t think they fully appreciate it like we do, either. To them, it’s just … a cookie. To us, it’s like, the reason for living. Lol You know what I mean. But like you said, you can always make more. And Michelle does have some great recipes and I had forgotten about these. Thanks for the reminder!

Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy the past month or so, and I haven’t really had much to share with you, but this week I am on vacation so hopefully I can get some content to share. 
💙
I am sharing with you one last look of my blues in my living room, as I plan on adding some yellow. I’d like to say with the warmer weather it’s time for Summer decor, but it has been unseasonably cool here. We are still in the 70’s and windy. Great for the plants, but not me. I need some 80’s. This is just wacky weather!
💙
What’s the weather where you live?

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!

Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden f Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden from last year. I’m gearing myself up to start working in the garden this weekend. It’s supposed to be mid 70’s. So if all goes planned you will be seeing quite a few gardening posts. 
🌺
Last years extreme summer heat took a major toll on my garden. I lost quite a few plants. 😫 For some reason I lost my Butterfly Bush. I plan on adding another one in the same spot. A lot of my lower flowers like Hummingbird Mint and my Coneflowers didn’t survive. We will be looking at the sprinkler system to make sure the plants are getting enough water. 
🌺
At least this garden is mainly annuals, so it should fill up with some color soon. I’m unsure what to do with my other gardens as my dogs have destroyed them. They keep on digging in the dirt. Maybe I should get them a sandbox to play in?
🌺
Have you started to work in your garden?
