How to Make Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl using a mixer for 2-3 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Incorporate the creamy peanut butter and beat until fully combined.
  4. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well until smooth.
  5. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt in a separate bowl.
  6. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
  7. Fold in the chopped chocolate and mini pretzel pieces.
  8. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Flatten each cookie slightly and add more chocolate and pretzel pieces on top if desired.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
  11. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
