Peanut Butter Pretzel & Chocolate Chip Cookies December 31, 2012

I have a hard time resisting the peanut butter jar.  Especially when I am armed with pretzels.  I probably eat more peanut butter via pretzels than I do on normal foods.  PB&J is overrated, it all about the PB&Pretzels.  And if I happen to sprinkle some chocolate chips on top? Don’t mind if I do…

Rather than shamelessly eating pretzels that have taken a dip into the peanut butter jar and then been covered in chocolate chips, I decided to make myself more socially acceptable by uniting all three forces into a delicious cookie.

Directions

Combine flour and baking soda in a medium bowl and set aside.

In a large bowl combine peanut butter, greek yogurt, eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until there is a uniform consistency.

Mix dry ingredients into the wet, followed by the addition of the pretzels and chocolate chips.

Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes.

Seeing as its New Years Eve, I have made the resolution to make more cookies like these :)

  1. I’m a big peanut butter fan (not fancy peanut butter but just normal). I try and have a serving or two a day but if it’s not measured out it ends up being the whole jar LOL. These look amazing!
