Salted Pretzel Chocolate and Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

All cookies! All the time!

If this week had a theme it would be COOKIES!  I am officially on a sugar-induced high permanently! And I don't mind one bit!

Thursday evening I attended a cookie swap with some local bloggers.  It was a wonderful event and thank you so much to Brittany for hosting!  (Photo credit to Brittany as well!)

I left the party with a lot of loot, and a bunch of photos!

My contribution were these Salted Pretzel Chocolate and Peanut Butter Chip Cookies!

They are delicious!

Salted Pretzel Chocolate and Peanut Butter Chip Cookies
makes 3 dozen

These cookies play on the traditional Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe with a twist...a pretzel twist that is!  Adding peanut butter chips and pretzels plays on the popular sweet-and-salty flavor combination.  The cookie remains soft and chewy on the inside and just a little crispy outside.  Make sure not to over bake as these continue to cook on the tray after removing from the oven.
