Cookies # 4 - Salted Peanut Butter - Pretzel - Chocolate Chip Cookies

Cookie #4 is the Salted Peanut Butter - Pretzel - Chocolate Chip Cookie.

Ingredients:

    1 1/4 cups flour
    1 cup quick oats
    1 t. baking soda
    1/4 t. salt
    12 T. butter
    1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
    2/3 cups crunchy peanut butter
    1 large egg
    1 t vanilla
    1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
    2/3 cups pretzel sticks, crushed
    Flake sea salt

I followed the instructions in the cookbook -- basically.  The recipe called for cooking the cookies for 11-13 minutes -- I only cooked the cookies for 10-11 minutes -- probably should have cut it down to 9 minutes.  My YL said this was almost as good as our faves (cookie 1.5).

 

  

 Here's the picture from the book.

 
My cookies.
