Caramel Pretzel Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

Cookies

One of the downsides to recipe creation… you have a lot of treats all to yourself. Like these Caramel Pretzel Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies. ๐Ÿ˜€

I must admit that I ate way to many of these cookies on the way from the oven to my little make shift studio. The kids helped too actually. So I guess they were good. ๐Ÿ˜‰

These Caramel Pretzel Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies are unique to any cookie that I’ve ever made because there’s not actually any traditional peanut butter in them. I used powdered peanut butter out of curiosity. As with many culinary adventures that I embark on, this idea is courtesy of my husband. He mentioned it after seeing it at the store and I just rolled with it. He often gives me a hard time that I never walk around the grocery store and just look around. This of course is true… I go in on a mission to get in and get out with blinders on and my “no” saying power armed and ready to go.

The majority of my shopping trips are with four kids in tow so I don’t stop to look around or find “new” things. My husband is usually at work when the kids and I hit the grocery store, but I have to say that I enjoy when we all go together because while I’m shopping for what we need and what’s on the list, he’s entertaining the kids and looking around. This is both good and bad… good because he finds things for us to try, bad because it usually means spending more than what I planned for that shopping trip. LOL

Anyway, I wanted these cookies to be chewy and we all know my love of all things sweet and salty so I thought let’s just throw some pretzels and caramel in there too. At first I thought I would make these Caramel Pretzel Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies stuffed with caramel, but then I found Kraft had these unwrapped small caramels that are about the size of a chocolate chip. I decided that they would be perfect to try as a mix in. Needless to say, my brain child worked because even my non-caramel eating daughter (yeah, not sure what happened there) ate these cookies!

I also wasn’t sure how the powdered peanut butter would work. I’m happy to say that it worked just fine. The cookies still had a nice peanut butter flavor and not that we really care when were eating cookies, but the powdered peanut butter does contain less fat than the traditional version.

So if you love ooey, gooey, salty, and sweet then these cookies are right up your alley. Enjoy some Caramel Pretzel Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies with the ones you love today!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! This w Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! This was actually the first time that I mostly cooked it all by myself. Normally we get together with my big Polish family and everyone pitches in by bringing a dish or 2 (or a bunch of desserts ๐Ÿ˜œ). I made sweet potato soup in my hella cool #pamperedchef cooking blender. My hubby was in charge of the turkey (#altonbrownsrecipe), homemade cranberry sauce in my Quick Cooker (amazing! I'm pressure cooking cranberry sauce from now on.) Sweet potato casserole (#magnoliatablevol2), extra mini marshmallows. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Uber delicious green bean casserole from #laurenslatest. Not pictured is the pumpkin gooey bars that I make every year and the pecan pie that I may have slightly over baked. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ #bakerfail Alas, everything was tasty... our hearts and bellies are more than full. Blessings to all!
