Delicious chunky cookies that are easy to make and disappear in a snap! My long-time friend Barb brought them to our New Year's Eve party and they were the hands-down favorite of a huge buffet table. Cook's note: The pretzels should be about the size of the chocolate chips, not pulverized. You want to taste bits of pretzel as you munch. This is a crunchy cookie. I use a food processor and just pulse until the desired size is achieved. Ingredients:
2 cups butter or 2 cups margarine, softened |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed |
2 large eggs |
2 tablespoons vanilla extract |
4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 pinch salt |
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips |
12 ounces peanut butter chips |
1 cup salted peanuts |
2 cups crushed pretzels |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Blend into creamed mixture. Stir in chocolate and peanut butter chips, peanuts and pretzels.
3. Drop by heaping tablespoons about 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake 10 - 13 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned and centers are still soft. Do not over bake. Cool one minute on baking sheet. Cool completely on wire racks. Store in tightly covered container.
