Description
These cookies blend melty chocolate and peanut-buttery bites with crunchy pretzel pieces for a snack that’s crisp at the edges and soft in the middle. They’re easy to make and perfect for sharing — or hiding in the back of the fridge for solo snacking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100 g) packed brown sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, brought to room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup (170 g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)
- ½ cup (75 g) peanut butter chips
- 1 cup (about 50 g) pretzels, roughly crushed
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line one or two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a roomy mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with the brown and granulated sugars until the mixture looks light and puffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Add the dry blend to the wet ingredients and fold just until you no longer see streaks of flour — don’t overwork the dough.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and crushed pretzels so they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons (or use a medium cookie scoop) onto the prepared sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the rims are golden while the centers still look slightly soft.
- Let the cookies sit on the pan for 4–5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Storage tip: Keep cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. You can also freeze baked cookies or portioned dough for later baking.
