This Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe With Peanut Butter And Pretzels will wake up your taste buds in a delicious way!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Therefore, I went on a mission to find a great chocolate chip cookie recipe with the sweet and salty theme to bring to an upcoming holiday cookie exchange.

Naturally, my first stop was to browse Pinterest only to find a ton of salted caramel cookies and bars.

However, this particular Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe really caught my eye.

Sarah from Sugar Cooking shares this recipe on her amazing blog.

Bakery Boxes

Incidentally, if you’re going to a cookie exchange, or just making cookies to give to friends, family, or that new neighbor whose house you really want to check out, you need to present these cookies in an inviting way!

I found a set of 20 bakery boxes with windows on the top on Amazon.

They are the perfect vessel for the amazing cookies you’ll be placing inside.

Of course presentation is everything!

Vintage-Inspired Cookie Jar

In the event that you have cookies leftover, the blue ceramic mason cookie jar in the above picture (you can find it on Amazon) looks so inviting on any countertop!

I absolutely love the vintage look of it and it coordinates perfectly in my vintage/farmhouse style kitchen!

Surprisingly, this chocolate chip cookie recipe is super easy to make.

Not only is each cookie is pretty substantial, but also you really don’t need to eat too many to satisfy that sweet & salty cookie craving.

These turned out really delicious.

Instead of using find peanut butter chips separately (because I couldn’t find them at the store), I used a bag of the combination chocolate and peanut butter chips.

To add that salty touch to the top of each cookie, empty all of the pretzels out of the bag and use the salt from the bottom of the bag.

Just sprinkle a little bit of pretzel salt on top of each cookie.

There is already salt in the cookie mix from the crushed pretzels, so you don’t need too much.

I doubled the recipe and baked each batch for 15 minutes.

My personal preference is a puffy cookie, so I didn’t press down the cookies before baking, leaving them in the balls from my cookie scoop.

Keep in mind that my cookie scoop was probably 2 tablespoons of cookie dough per scoopand that’s why I had to bake them a little bit longer than what the recipe states.

They turned out great.
