Ingredients

• 115 grams Unsalted butter
• 120 grams Creamy peanut butter
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 110 grams Brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 Large egg
• 190 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 60 grams Mini pretzels, crushed
• 100 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 pinch Flaky sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, creamy peanut butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and egg to the butter mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the crushed pretzels and semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Gently press down on each dough ball with your fingers or the back of a fork to slightly flatten them.

Step 9

Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie, if desired.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.

Step 11

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy your perfect balance of sweet, salty, and crunchy in every bite.
