Peanut Butter Pretzel Oatmeal Cookies

These peanut butter pretzel oatmeal cookies are like a cookie version of a really good granola bar! The texture of these cookies is everything! The chewy nutty peanut butter oatmeal with the chunks of chocolate and pieces of salted pretzels!

Perfect for an after school snack or dessert! Peanut butter, chocolate, pretzels all in a perfectly chewy oatmeal cookie!

Let's talk about what's in these cookie! Or maybe I should I say, what's not in these cookies, because I know it sounds like just about anything you can throw into cookies is in this cookie recipe! But that's how you know its going to be the most amazing cookie!

Ingredients for these Peanut Butter Pretzel Oatmeal Cookies

• Peanut Butter - Creamy peanut butter for the perfect texture in this cookie recipe.
• Rolled Oats - You need the old-fashioned rolled oats for this recipe. Do not substitute with steel cut oats or Instant oatmeal for this! Completely different texture and cooking time.
• Chocolate - Any type of chocolate you choose for this! I really like semi-sweet chocolate chunks because they textures of the big chocolate pieces really stand out against the pretzels and oatmeal!
• Pretzels - Try to grab some regular salted pretzels for this recipe

If that's not even for you, go the extra step and decorate them with a little chocolate drizzle, pretzels pieces and chopped peanuts! I mean, these cookies are perfect on their own, but taking the extra few minutes to add that little bit of chocolate and crunch on top just make them irresistible!

One of my favorite part of this recipe is actually the batch size. So many cookie recipes make an enormous number of cookies and as much I love cookies, I'd rather have them for a small indulgent treat for a few days and not feel too guilty about it. This batch makes about 24 small cookies which is perfect for a couple days of snacks and desserts. But if you are looking for more cookies, the recipe is very easy to double or more!
