Chocolate, peanut butter and pretzels. What more could a girl want out of life?
Ok, don’t answer that. But at this very moment? Chocolate, peanut butter and pretzels all rolled into cookie form are all I need. I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather lately, but not enough so to take time off work. So, while Baby E was napping, and I was trying to cram in an early lunch, these cookies provided a brief respite from my crazy days. (Side note: Since becoming a nanny, my new lunch time is 11:30am, every day.)
I adapted this recipe from Picky Palate. She did a white chocolate version, but since Stephen doesn’t like white chocolate, I never have it on hand. I was cooking dinner on Monday night, and wanted to whip up some cookie dough while my chicken was baking, which means there was no time for a trip to the store. No problem, I just substituted semisweet chocolate chips. Done deal.
Trust me, you’ll love these cookies.
