Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies

Say what?  Yes today we are sharing this yummy recipe for Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies.  Obviously the surprise ingredient is pretzels.  The pretzel pieces add a great salty crush to this sweet chewy cookie.  I’m sure if you’ve been on any cooking blogs or read any cooking magazines over the past year, you’ve seen a lot of foods topped with sea salt. This is a variation on that trend.  I really like the salt coming from the pretzel because it changes up the texture of the cookie a bit.  You can certainly make these with any kind of chocolate chip and with or without the peanut butter chips.  Simply make sure you add the full 2 cups of whatever chip you like.  Let me know what you think!
