OMG! These look amazing! My three favorites; chocolate, peanut butter and pretzels! The hubby will LOVE these! Thanks for sharing

Try these! The addition of pretzel pieces definitely proved to be unusual, fun, and truly tasty. We used roughly crushed pretzel ‘nuggets’ and got great results.

What a great idea combining the salty pretzels with the sweet chocolate chips! Fantastic!

I love these. The combination of sweet, salt and chocolate is perfect. I may have added a little extra pretzel which resulted in a harder cookie ( I just cooked it for the shorter recommended time and it still worked well). Next time I will watch for that. Thanks for the recipe!

I made these today. I followed the recipe exactly with the exception that I used chocolate chips instead of chunks. The cookies did not spread much at all, nor did they brown much, but the flavor is awesome. I love it when I get a bite of salty pretzel against the chocolate and peanut butter! Next time I would leave the pretzels in slighty larger pieces than I did this time. They aren’t as crunchy as I thought they’d be. These are definitely worth making again!

Mmmmmm……I made these last night and thought they were yummy. Peanut butter and chocolate cookies are a regular in our house and I loved the addition of pretzels. After reading the above comments I did flatten the cookies before baking them and they came out PERFECT!! Thanks

I LOVED THESE!!!!

CamRose on 5.20.2010

I love these. The combination of sweet, salt and chocolate is perfect. The first time I made these I may have added a little extra pretzel which resulted in a harder cookie. The next time I did not add all the powder from the crushed pretzels with it – they turned out nice and soft in the middle. Thanks for the recipe!

So delicious! I used pretzel nuggets and left them a bit chunky, and used mini chocolate chips because that’s all I had. Baked for 12 minutes instead of the 8-10. My new favorite cookie recipe. Thanks!

I had an interesting time with these. The raw dough looked fabulous. When I ate one right out of the oven, it was very dry. I tried cooking them smaller, for less time, and they were better but still dry.

This morning, I tried one, and they are FABULOUS! Perfectly soft and very moist and chewy. I brought them to work and they are a huge hit!

I have no idea why they were dry last night, so I’ll just make sure they have time to set before I need to serve them. I will be making these again!

Yummm! These are amazing.

brittney on 8.13.2010

These were simple and yummy – pretzels give the cookie a great crunch, which is a nice contrast to the smooth, delicious cookie. I tend to make my cookies on the small side (use a smallish spoon to scoop), and this recipe generated a ton! Good thing I love cookies.

THESE ARE AMAZING. I undercooked them ever so slightly and immediately removed from the baking sheet; the result was perfectly soft cookies. This recipe is definitely #1 in my house right now. Thank you.

These were excellent. I took these up to work and had no cookies left to bring home. The sweet/salty combination is fantastic, and it makes a chewy cookie (which I prefer).

Deonna on 12.4.2010

Chocolate-covered pretzel lovers rejoice! These are delicious. Like the other reviewers, I flattened them slightly before baking, and they turned out perfectly. Yum!

jecarl on 12.27.2010

OH WOW. My mouth was watering before they even came out of the oven. Thank goodness I made a double batch which was overflowing out of my Kitchenaid, because I canNOT stop eating them! I used a mini ice-cream scooper and they molded beautifully. Popped right out of the scooper and held together nicely. Definitely my new favorite cookie. Incredible!

Old Fashioned Potato Chip Toffee Bit Cookies

by cheesypennies and filed in Cookies, Desserts

These are the quintessential, hot from the oven, chewy, buttery, full-of-stuff cookie. They offer the added element of crunch and a little twist from the toffee bits. As the saying goes, bet you can’t eat just one!
