How to Make Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup creamy peanut butter until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes using an electric mixer).
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Stir in ½ cup salted peanuts.
  7. In a separate bowl, place 1 cup coarsely chopped pretzels.
  8. Scoop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough (approximately 1.5 ounces each).
  9. Gently roll 3-4 dough balls at a time in the chopped pretzels to coat evenly.
  10. Place cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  11. Bake for 12-15 minutes, rotating baking sheets halfway through, until golden brown and edges are set. Cookies will still be slightly soft in the center.
  12. Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
