SALTED PEANUT BUTTER-PRETZEL-CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES - CC RECIPE



Salted Peanut Butter-Pretzel-Chocolate Chip Cookies - CC Recipe image

Provided by á-48655

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups (6 1/4 ounces) all-purpose flour
1 cup (3 ounces) quick oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups packed (8 3/4 ounces) light brown sugar
2/3 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 ounces pretzel sticks, coarsely crushed (2/3 cup)
Flake sea salt

Steps:

  • 1. Combine flour, oats, baking soda, and salt in bowl. Using stand mixer fitted with paddle, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add peanut butter, egg, and vanilla and mix until fully incorporated, about 30 seconds, scraping down bowl as needed. 2. Reduce speed to low and slowly add flour mixture; continue to mix until just combined. Add chocolate chips and pretzels and mix until just incorporated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. 3. Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions and heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Working with 2 tablespoons chilled dough at a time, roll into 1 1/2-inch balls and space them evenly on prepared sheets, 12 per sheet. Press each ball to 3/4-inch thickness using bottom of greased dry measuring cup. 4. Bake until puffed and cracks just form on top, 11 to 13 minutes, switching and rotating sheets halfway through baking. Let cookies cool on sheets for 5 minutes. Sprinkle cookies with sea salt, then transfer to wire rack. Let cookies cool completely before serving.

Tips:

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • If you don't have baking soda, you can substitute baking powder. Use half the amount of baking powder as baking soda.
  • To make sure your cookies are evenly baked, rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time.
  • If you like a crispy cookie, bake them for a few minutes longer.
  • For a softer cookie, bake them for a few minutes less.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.

Conclusion:

These peanut butter chocolate pretzel cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're chewy, chocolatey, and salty, with a perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness. They're also gluten-free and can be made vegan with a few simple substitutions. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these cookies a try!
