Pretzel Peanut Butter Cookies are both soft and crunchy. With chocolate, pretzels and a sprinkle of salt, it’s hard not to eat the whole batch. A Great dessert for shipping.
I’m always trying out new cookie recipes, most of which I like and keep in the freezer. (Everyone knows that if they stop by, they can always leave with some cookies) However, when I find a really good recipe, one that I can’t keep from eating, I have to send those out of the house right away. This is one of those recipes.

What is surprising is that Natalie, who likes soft cake-like cookies, and me, who likes crunchy cookies both love this one. Taylors away and I can’t ship cookies to her but if I could, these would hold up great. The cookie part is soft but the pretzels makes them crunchy. They are just the perfect mix of chocolate and peanut butter. These are being sent to college tomorrow so that I can stop eating them. Katie, I hope you enjoy them.
