Chocolate & Peanut Butter Chip Pretzel Cookies
Makes 24 cookies

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. of salt
1/4 tsp. of baking soda
1/2 cup of butter at room temperature
1/2 cup of tightly packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup of granulated sugar
1 egg (beaten)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
1/2 cup broken up pretzel pieces
Preztel Salt or Sea Salt

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a larger bowl, beat the butter and sugars together on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). On low speed, slowly add the beaten egg and vanilla extract. Beat to combine, scrape down the sides of the bowl.
3. Add the flour mixture and beat just until there are no more streaks of flour. Stir in the chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and preztels. Cover and refrigerate for an hour.
4. Preheat the oven to 350F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop out well rounded tablespoonfuls of the dough and sprinkle with pretzel salt. Leave about 2 inches between each ball. Bake for 10 minutes. If you prefer crispier cookies increase the baking time by 1-2 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing.

As usual, my "recipe" is a purchase. This afternoon, completely by accident, I discovered Kayak Cookies (kayakcookies.com). The chunky chocolate pecan salty oat cookie was incredible. There was sea salt on the top of the cookie.

I can't believe they don't sell these where I live.

Mmm. And with the pumpkin, can also pretend they're healthy.

Was looking for something easy for a cookie swap on RCL.

Do you bake this in a 9 X 13 and cut into bars?
Is it a very thick dough?
I'm thinking, instead of the chocolate chips, add 1/4 tsp cinnamon, and frost when cool with a cream cheese frosting. Maybe a pinch of cloves too? Are they dry? Would I need to add some applesauce to moisten?

Hmmm - sounds interesting. I've used the same combination of spice cake mix and canned pumpkin (plus a cup or so of mini chips) to make muffins or bread, but never cookies.

Here's my favorite holiday cookie:

PECAN SNOWBALL COOKIES

1 lb. butter, softened
2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. powdered sugar
2 c. pecans, ground
3 c. flour
Additional powdered sugar to coat cookies

Cream together butter and 1 c. powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla, then stir in flour and nuts. If dough is too sticky, chill for 1/2 hour.
Roll dough into small balls & place on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 375º for 8-10 minutes. Cookies should be just barely golden brown.
Remove from pan & place in shallow dish of powdered sugar. Gently roll to cover & remove to a rack to cool.
When cookies are cooled, roll in additional powdered sugar & remove to a tin or container for storage.

I read cookie exchange and I was gonna sign up to have someone send me some cookies!!
But alas, a recipe - although, so far, these look really yummy and I will have to try them.
I am more of a cupcake baker - made some key lime pie cupcakes and my coworkers keep asking me to make them again!
Anyone have a really good snickerdoodle recipe?

What a fun thread Nikki !!! I'll have to bring some of my favorite receipes into work and type them out on here !!!

Would anyone be interested in a very easy fudge receipe?

Do you bake in a rectangular pan and then cut into bars?

Sorry it took me so long to see your question. I've been away from my computer for a while.

I drop them onto a cookie sheet just like regular cookies. I think they need to cook a little bit longer than regular cookies because they get can sticky. My Mom likes them that way, she likes them sticky and gooey

I've never tried to bake them in a pan. They should work that way. I've always baked them like regular cookies. The dough isn't really that thick. Reminds me chocolate chip cookie dough just a lot more moist. Adding applesauce might be too much. They are pretty moist on their own.
