If you are a fan of Take Five Candy bars you will love these cookies! What can be better than sweet and salty?! Sea salt is a very "trendy" ingredient in many desserts, and for good reason. It enhances the sweetness while giving a rich natural hint of salt. This cookie has just the right amount of density, crunch, soft, and added goodies. I had thought I made too many for a BBQ but sure enough by the end of the night everyone was asking for more.
1 stick softened butter, 8 tablespoons
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup white chocolate chips, to melt
1 1/4 cups creamy peanut butter (reserve 2 tablespoons to add to melting white chips)
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup broken pretzel pieces
1 Cup additional white chocolate chips
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Melt white chocolate chips and 2 Tablespoons peanut butter over a double boiler until melted.
2. Add melted chocolate chips and remaining peanut butter to beaten butter and sugars. Beat in egg and vanilla.
3. Place flour, baking soda and salt in bowl; mix to combine. Add to wet ingredients until just combined then pour in pretzels and additional white chocolate chips.
4. With a cookie scoop, scoop dough onto a silpat or parchment lined baking sheet. With the palms of your hand, gently press down each cookie to about 1/2 inch in thickness. Sprinkle each cookie with a touch of sea salt. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges become golden and slightly crisp. Let cool for 10 minutes on baking sheet before
