Mommy's Little Helper - Salty Pretzel, Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Cookies



Okay so I guess it's abruptly that time of year again. Hard to believe since it was in the 80's 2 days ago. Anyway, it's freezing outside & we have been stuck inside for the past few days. So I thought now would be a perfect time to start baking with my little one! I came across this easy recipe for a salty but sweet cookie and figured we'd give it a try.



The recipe called for making cookies from scratch using your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe... My favorite recipe just so happened to be the kind that is pre-mixed and comes in a bag for $2.00...or maybe it's my favorite because I like to take shortcuts. Oh well. If you go my route, you will need eggs, butter/margarine, peanut butter chips & pretzels.


Add the egg, butter & mix in the peanut butter chips. I just estimated the amount of chips depending on your taste. Personally, I used roughly 1/2 cup.


Put a handful of pretzels in a bag and smash them. I kept them kind of chunky instead of crumbs because I wanted them nice and crunchy.

Mix the pretzels in and stir until wet.


Put on the baking sheet and bake for 7-8 minutes. I cook them until they are golden on the bottom and still sort of wet on top...that way when they cool they are soft but the pretzels will add the right amount of crunch. Yum yum!!


In the words of Taylor, "We did it!!"
