Peanut Butter Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• ½ cups Margarine, Softened
• ½ cups Shortening
• ¼ cups Creamy Peanut Butter
• ¾ cups Packed Brown Sugar
• ¾ cups Sugar
• 2 whole Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 2-¼ cups Flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• ¾ cups Coarsely Crushed Pretzels
• 1-½ cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Preparation Instructions

Cream together margarine, shortening, peanut butter and both sugars. When light and fluffy and thoroughly combined, mix in one egg at a time. Then mix in vanilla. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Stir into creamed ingredients in 2 or 3 additions, just until thoroughly combined. Stir in pretzels and chocolate chips.

Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes, until just browning on the edges and not quite set in the center. Let cool on the baking sheet 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Makes 4 dozen cookies.
