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!!

  3. In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, peanut butter, butter, milk and vanilla extract. Beat at medium speed until well blended. Add the egg and beat just until blended. Reduce speed to low and add the flour mixture gradually, mixing just until combined. Using a rubber spatula, stir in the chocolate chips.

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!

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage.

Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather. We are having extreme winds again and boy is it cold out. It’s only in the 30’s right now and tomorrows high is in the 40’s. Normally by now I am planting seeds in the ground and prepping for Spring gardening. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Where’s the California Spring weather?
🐰
Since we don’t have Spring outside, I thought I would bring Spring in the house. I bought my first fresh bouquet of tulips. Aren’t they pretty? This makes me so happy. Plus I couldn’t resist bringing the bunnies out. They seemed to have multiplied since last Spring. lol
🐰
This Spring vignette was inspired by the beautiful welcome sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the bead handle and the cute little bunny on it. The sign is reversible, swipe to see other side. So you can use it all year. It would be beautiful in an entry, guest bedroom and on your front porch.

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Yesterd Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Yesterday we watched on Netflix Your Place or Mine with Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher. If you like the classic Rom-Com movies you’ll enjoy it.
💗
I added a little of Spring decor to my bench in my living room. I will probably change this spot up once I pull my spring decor out, but for now I like it.
💗
It’s crazy how big this space looks in video, when it’s quite small. I call this my runway zone because the dogs run through this space like maniacs. So I have to keep it light with no breakables. 
💗
The two large pillows are from Target and the little bunny pillow is from the Target Dollar Spot. The throw is from Pier1 when they had a storefront. The sign on the wall is from Krumpets Home Decor.

Have you started decorating for Spring?
