Peanut Butter, Pretzel & Chocolate Chip Cookies

1/23/2015

   Peanut butter, chocolate, and salty pretzels? Are there any questions? 
   I clearly think this is a yummy idea, and I have people who ate these cookies who will vouch for the yumminess of this idea! 
   I am often making treats for my son who can't have gluten, and I've made him peanut butter cookies before, but I wanted to jazz them up! And everyone knows that peanut butters' best friends are chocolate and pretzels. Everybody knows it. 
   So, I took a super simple recipe and just added a few yummy things and made it a super-duper yummy, and still so simple recipe! And if you are not a gluten-free person you can just use regular old pretzels! I think that point is obvious, but I just wanted to say it, just in case.

Gluten-Free Peanut Butter, Pretzel & Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

  • 1 Cup peanut butter (the "fake" peanut butter works best, not the kinds that are only peanuts), chunky or creamy
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Cup sugar (sometimes I like to use half white, and half brown, it's up to you!)
  • 1 Cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 Cup crushed gluten free pretzels (you can also use regular pretzels too if you're not a gluten free person but are drooling at this recipe!) :)
* I literally "crushed" my pretzels by scooping 1/2 cup out of the bag, then dumping that half cup into my hand (in 2 parts) and squeezing! Then they were crushed! 
  • A little extra sugar in a bowl for the tops



Method: 


  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees
  2. Mix the peanut butter with the egg until well combined
  3. Add the sugar(s) and mix until it is all well incorporated
  4. Add the chocolate chips and crushed pretzels and stir it up!
  5. Roll or scoop 1 tablespoon-ful of dough and place onto a baking sheet
  6. Press a fork into the bowl of sugar, and press down into each cookie to flatten it and give it a nice design that is generally expected with peanut butter cookies....I'm not sure why though...?
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, just until they are a tiny bit golden around the bottom edge and set     
  8. Let cool slightly before removing from cookie sheet and devouring!

   Yummy, right? And so simple too! Hazaaa! They are the best!...unless you're allergic to peanuts...then I could see these being the worst...but lets not talk about that.
   I hope everyone has a great weekend doing what you're doing! 
   My brain is drawing a blank on cute and quippy closings, so I'm just gonna go!
