Ingredients
  

  • 1 stick unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup of creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 egg plus 1 egg yolk
  • 1 Tbsp of milk or half and half or cream
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/4 cups of flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup of chocolate chips or to amp up peanut butter flavor do a mix of chocolate and peanut butter chips!
  • 1 1/2 cups of pretzel sticks broken into pieces larger pieces- each stick into 3 pieces

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°, line baking sheets with parchment or silicone mat
  • In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or with a hand mixer, beat butter, peanut butter, and sugars until well combined and fluffy
  • Add egg, egg yolk, milk and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy (really beat well here)
  • Add in flour mixture and mix just until combined.
  • Stir in chocolate chips and pretzels just until incorporated.
  • Using a Tablespoon cookie scoop or a heaping Tablespoon, scoop and drop cookie dough onto prepared cookie sheets about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake 8-11 min, watching closely, until edges are just beginning to brown. Do not over bake (or you will get a crispy cookie)- they will still be soft in the middle.

Notes

If you only have salted butter just decrease the salt to 1/4 tsp
Cooking times can vary by oven, so just keep a close eye on them (especially in the last few minutes).
