Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookies – Healthier

June 20, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 10 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today I have yet another Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookie recipe for you.  A couple of weeks ago I made PB CC Pretzel Cookies, but my Husband took them all and I was sad and craving them.  I just love the combination of peanut butter and pretzels, and of course chocolate.  So this past weekend I whipped up a healthier version of the original recipe.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookies

These cookies aren’t only healthier, but they are also gluten-free.  I had a bag of Glutino Gluten Free Pretzels that Udi’s Gluten Free sent me, and I thought the pretzels would be good in these cookies.  I was right!  I never had these kind of pretzels before and let me tell you they are crunchy, super crunchy!  I don’t think I ever had a pretzel with such a crunch!  I like them!  I also really, really like them in these cookies.  When I take a bite of the cookie, I actually still get a nice crunch sound, so they are soooo perfect for recipes that you bake pretzels in.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookies


This recipe is based on my 3 ingredient peanut butter cookies, but just using 1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup sugar, 1 egg and then I mixed in some mini chocolate chips and of course pretzels.  These cookies are mighty delish!  They are crunchy and chewy, and perfect for freezing.  As you can tell I really love freezing my cookies.  Not only do they stay fresh longer, but they are out of sight, so I don’t keep eating them!  Though I did have my fair share of them.  Probably to many of them.  Thank goodness this recipe only makes 32 cookies.  32 thick, delicious, chocolaty, peanut buttery cookies.  I am sooooooo drooling right now.  Must be good, must finish my post before I reach for a cookie!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookies

When baking these cookies, I did find they were a little soft, but don’t worry they do harden up a bit once they cooled.  I also found the batter to be a little crumbly, however that really doesn’t matter.  Just grab some of the batter and squeeze and mold into a dough ball.  I gently pressed the cookies down with my fork to make the traditional peanut butter cookie crisscross, but don’t press to hard, you don’t want the cookie to crumble.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pretzel Cookies

I don’t know what it is, but I have been on a major peanut butter kick.  I tend to go through this every few months.  It’s like I can’t get enough of it!!!  But I am sure peanut butter lovers understand that!!  Darn that Peanut Butter, why must I love you so much?

Dam, now I need to make another PB recipe!  🙂

Well my Friends have a great day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    Love that you’re on a major PB kick. After writing a book about it, you’d think I’d be sick of it, but I’m not! I love it still! And these cookies look so dense, moist, soft and full of PB flavor!

    Could you just make these raw? Do you have to cook them?

      I’d cook them because they have egg in them!! Though you could skip the egg and roll them into balls, maybe add a pinch of flour to it to make it more firm.

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
