Chocolate & Pretzel Peanut Butter Cookies - Gluten Free*


If I could offer you one piece of advice, it would be this. 

You need these cookies in your life. 

The End. 

Chocolate & Pretzel Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 package of coating chocolate - I used both white and dark. 
1 cup finely chopped pretzels*

*To make these completely gluten-free cookies, be sure to use gluten-free pretzels, like Glutino. 

Preheat oven to 325ºF. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats; set aside.

In a mixing bowl using an electric mixer, beat together peanut butter and brown sugar until creamy. Add in egg and mix until incorporated. 

  
Using a scoop with a retractable mechanism, scoop dough onto cookie sheet. Add criss-cross designs to pretty them up. 

Bake cookies for 18-20 minutes.



In the meantime, using a hand chopper or knife, cut pretzels into small pieces; set aside. Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper or a silicone mat. 


Place chocolate in a heatproof glass bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring well in between until chocolate is smooth. 

Take cookie and dip halfway into chocolate. Immediately sprinkle pretzel bits over top.  Place on prepared cookie sheet. Put tray in refrigerator to set.

  8. My grandmother stumbled across this peanut butter cookie recipe for peanut butter blossoms and I've been using it for years. I never thought to dip them in chocolate and pretzels before. Thanks for the wonderful idea.

  9. Yum! These cookies are beautiful, and I love that they are so simple...just a few ingredients. Coconut macaroons are some of my favorites, so I would love to give them a shot. Thanks for sharing! :)
