Peanut Butter Pretzel Chip Cookies

I am on a cookie craze!  Today, I came up with these little numbers.


I know that Chocolate Chip Cookies are the most favored cookie in all the land, but they have never been one of my favorites.  I think I've finally realized that I either like a very basic cookie - sugar or shortbread, or a crazy cookie full of things like candy and pretzels!  

Peanut Butter Pretzel Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup butter or margarine, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large egg

1 (12 ounce) package milk chocolate chips
1 cup thin pretzels, broken into small piece

1 cup Reese’s Pieces

Directions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl.  In large mixer, beat butter and both sugars until creamy.  Add peanut butter and vanilla extract .  Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in chips, pretzels and candies. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake for 6 minutes and switch pans on racks.  Back for 5 – 6 more minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
