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.

    Wow … what an interesting combination! I’ll have to check these out. Peanut butter is already my favorite cookie– but with pretzels? Hmm…

Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room a lit Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room  a little bit. I took out my Easter decor and gave it a more neutral look and did some switching around. Plus I added a Samantha Sue, who is laying down in the photo. lol
🍓
One of my favorite pieces that I added was my new @krumpetshomedecor sign. I love the style of the sign with the shiplap white wash look and of course the cute strawberry and daisies that add a pretty pop of color.
🍓
The sign is also reversible. It also says Life is Sweet on the other side without the strawberries and daises. The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week.
🍓
You can get free shipping and an additional 10% off with my discount: PBANDP.

What is your favorite summer fruit?

Hello and happy Wednesday! Thank you for all your Hello and happy Wednesday!  Thank you for all your kind words about the dentist. All he had to do is cement my crown back on. He said your crown has sticky with clear stuff on it. He said I don’t think it’s the old cement?  I told him I ate a white Trader Joe’s jelly bean and I thought I got it all off. He was laughing.
🌿
It’s that time of year for house plant care. While your plants are waking from dormancy, it’s time to feed them, repot them if needed and give a trim if applicable.
🌿
I also water my plants about every 7-10 days, depending on the plant. My coffee plant, fern, violet and my mixed plant container needs watering more. The key to know when to water is check the soil. I use a water meter probe and  you just stick it in the dirt. If it’s dry, I water. If it’s moist or wet, I’ll check again in a few days. You can get a water meter at Lowe’s, your local nursery or Amazon. It’s my number 1 garden tool. We use it on outside plants too.
🌿
I’m also sharing with you my cute little tea towel that I got from @e.h.designco. Her shop is closed right now because she’s moving, but will be open back in June.
🌿
Okay, go check your plants!
🌿
What’s your favorite house plant?

Happy Tuesday! Well today’s the day! I head to Happy Tuesday!  Well today’s the day! I head to the dentist. Wish me luck. I hope they will be able to glue my crown back on. I hate going to the dentist! Ugh!
🌸
Today I am sharing with you my new plates and bowls that I got from @sonemone_official. I just love them. The shade of blue is so pretty and I love the vibrant colors on them.
🌸
The bowls are huge and would make a wonderful soup bowl or salad bowl. The plates would be beautiful served with a charcuterie board. They are microwave and dishwasher safe. They would be so pretty on a summer tablescape.
🌸
Are you ready for summer decorating?

Happy Good Friday! So happy the weekend is here. Happy Good Friday!  So happy the weekend is here. It’s been a glorious week with warm temperatures and sunshine. Next week it’s supposed to cool off dramatically, so I am going to enjoy it while it’s here.
💕
I wanted to get one last Easter tiered tray in before Sunday. Everything you see here is from small shops. I tagged all of them in the photo.
💕
This weekend I’ll be taking a break from IG to work in the yard and to do some decorating so I have some new content to share with you. Though with Easter almost behind us, I’m unsure what I’ll do next? But I do think I’ll stick with the yellows? But we’ll see.
💕
Have the most wonderful weekend and Easter holiday!!

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind us and now we are in April. March flew by in a blink of an eye.  I can’t get over how fast the month went. It’s crazy.
🌸
My excitement for me today is trying to get into a dentist. My crown on my implant fell out yesterday when I was eating a jelly bean. The last place I want to go is the dentist. Yuck!
🌸
I’ll admit engagement in March on IG has just been awful. But I am so thankful for you. Thank you for stopping by and liking my photos and your sweet comments. You always make my day. Let’s hope April is better for all of us.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my top 4 photos of March. You guys picked some good ones. The first photo of the Easter tablescape is my favorite tablescape I’ve done.
🌸
Do you have any plans for this weekend?

Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 Hey, hey, hey! Happy Wednesday! Well I crammed 23 bunnies into this picture, if you count the bunnies on the pillow. Can you find them all?
🐰
This is probably my favorite spot to decorate. About a year or so ago, I had no idea what to do in this area. I struggled so much. It’s just an odd space. Then I bought the white bench and it instantly became so much fun to decorate.
🐰
I loved the bench so much, I bought a second one to go under the other window. That bench holds my plants. I have other awkward spaces in my home that I would love to add a bench, but my husband would kill me if I got another. I can overdo things when I like something. Like bunnies and pumpkins. lol
🐰
Do you have something that you can’t resist to buy?

Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another bunny vigne Happy Tuesday! I’m back with another bunny vignette. I told you that I’m trying to squeeze them all in.
🐰
Let me tell you, I must have taken a bazillion photos of this vignette. I moved it all over my house. I have the worse time photographing greens and yellows together. I have the same issue with sunflowers too.
🐰
I was inspired by this vignette by the cute little Fresh Dyed Eggs sign from my friend Brantley @thesassyoak. I love the little sign so much. She makes the cutest little signs.
🐰
I had fun putting together the shallow pot with moss and the birds nest. I added my little daffodils to it to look like they are popping out of the pot.
🐰
Is there something you try to photograph that gives you a hard time?

Happy Monday!! I can’t believe next weekend is E Happy Monday!! I can’t believe next weekend is Easter, so you know what that means? I need to get in as many bunny pictures as I possibly can.
🐰
Who am I kidding? You’ll probably get a lot more bunnies in the coming weeks. In all actuality, I keep most of my bunny decor up all year, unless it screams Easter.
🐰
This weekend was a busy one for me. The first real warm weekend we’ve had all year, so I spent a lot of time working the garden. I’m actually kind of sore, which is a good thing. Nothing like the sun shining, warm air and playing in the dirt. My favorite thing.
🐰
What do you look most forward to when the weather warms up?
