Notes
Start with Pre-made Dough: To cut down the cooking time for this recipe, you can start with the pre-made cookie dough of your choice.
Alternative to Peanut Butter: If you don’t have peanut butter, you can use any other nut butter of your choice.
Pretzel Variations: If you don’t want to use whole pretzels, you can just use roughly crushed pretzels too. Pretzel twists can also be a great option to consider. If you can get your hands on some itty bitty mini pretzels, you can choose to press them into the cookie dough too.
Achieve the Perfect Texture: The key to getting the perfect chewy texture for the cookies is to remember to use fresh and high-quality baking soda and baking powder for the recipe.
