Peanut Butter Cookies with Pretzels are a peanut butter cookie with dried cheeries that are coated with salty pretzels. A fun cookie to make and eat.
Natalie is officially at college and Taylor left Saturday so my empty nest is officially here. I am going to be experimenting with things that can be mailed and will stay fresh for a while. These peanut butter cookies coated in pretzels are my first experiment. It’s odd that they don’t require any flour yet they are a pretty substantial cookie and I think would hold up in the mail. The peanut butter flavor is not too strong. 
What I loved about them were the dried cherries. They add a slightly sweet taste to the salty peanut butter. They don’t flatten much when baked, so flatten them a little with your palm before putting them in the oven. The batter is pretty sticky so you really need an ice cream scoop to keep from making a mess.
