Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies : Soft cookies loaded with peanut butter, two kinds of baking chips and pretzels. Total cookie love.

In my many years of food blogging, I have come across so many recipes.
So many.
I bookmark quite a few, make quite a few and post quite a few. But, to be really honest, there are more than a few that I make and then, well, forget about.
This recipe I discovered way back in the first few months of blogging and guys, this is one recipe I have not forgot about.

A quick breakdown:
- ✓ Dark chocolate
- ✓ Peanut butter
- ✓ Chocolate chips
- ✓ Peanut butter chips
- ✓ Pretzels
- ✓Coarse sea salt
They are over the top good.
What Supplies Do I Need? Cookie sheets, parchment paper or silicone baking mats, medium size bowl +whisk, electric mixer + mixing bowl, measuring cups/spoons and silicone/rubber spatula.

A few recipe notes:
- This recipe does call for dark cocoa powder (see recipe card for the product I used). It gives the cookies a nice chocolaty flavor, but, if you need to, regular cocoa powder can be used.
- If you don’t have any coarse sea salt, regular will work, but, the salt taste may not be as strong.
- Once fully mixed, your batter will be thick. Use a good silicone/rubber spatula to stir in baking chips & pretzels. It will make the process a bit easier.
