Not sure what my infatuation is with peanut butter cookies lately, can NOT get enough. This recipe was inspired by another little jar of famous peanut butter from Spread Restaurant called….White Chocolate Pretzel Peanut Butter. Needless to say I ate the whole jar with nothing but a spoon in a few short days. After it was gone I knew I had to create a cookie with the same flavors.
Here you have my newest love….Double White Chocolate and Pretzel Peanut Butter Cookies with Sea Salt. Don’t try to say that 3 times fast 🙂 Enjoy!
Here’s your line up.
Break out a small saucepan full of lightly boiling water and place a heat proof bowl over it. Add your white chips and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and melt until smooth. This will be added to your dough, mmmm!
Here’s my secret ingredient….McCormick Gourmet Sicilian Sea Salt sprinkled on top of each cookie before baking. Brace your taste buds for that sweet and salty combo, it’s incredible here!
Take your pretty pretzels and crush them into pieces. The kids will love to help with this 🙂
So, you’ve added your white chocolate and creamy peanut butter to the dough, now you add your dry ingredients along with the white chips and pretzels pieces. Give her a good mix!
You’ll get something like this.
Scoop onto your favorite silpat or parchment lined baking sheet and press down to about 1/2 inch thick. This way they bake better.
Mmmmm, sprinkle on a touch of McCormick Gourmet Sicilian Sea Salt.
Mmmm 🙂
Ta’da! These are right up there in my top 5 cookies. Love them to pieces! Hope you enjoy.

Found you via Lovin from the Oven. Your blog is fantastic as is this recipe. Really like your header and on occasion I do wear heels to the grocery store. Its my weekly social outing.
These are super yummy!! And my boys gobbled them up. I did have to increase the flour though 1/2 cup. Elevation difference maybe? Still a fabulous combination.
Great to hear the cookies were a success. Weird about the flour. Glad they turned out for you!!
Just wanted to let you know I made these cookies (LOVED them!) and put up a post on my blog. Thanks for the recipe!

Wonderful! They look great Jess, thanks for sharing!!
I made these last night using my new Whoopie Pie Pan and I’m in love! I also switched it up a little, making half of the batch with white chocolate chips and the other half using milk chocolate chips. Love them both! I’ll be featuring your recipe on my blog, http://www.lifessimplemeasures.blogspot.com/, some time this week, too!
Those cookies look amazing. The name sure is a mouthful though!
I made these to take to some friends I hadn’t seen in awhile. They were a huge (HUGE!) hit! Sweet and salty perfection. I’m still receiving compliments. Thanks for sharing!
Seriously…you are an evil evil woman.
Well, I did say these were on my “must try asap” list…
I went ahead and made them – even remembered to take a photo!
They do not look anywhere near as good as yours but they sure taste awesome!

I made these for my coworkers and my family wouldn’t stop eating them before they could get to school. I substituted Butterscotch chips instead of white chocolate. Delicious! Generous on the sea salt sprinkling. Yum! Thanks!!!
White chocolate, salty pretzels and peanut butter? Jenny, you’re singing my song!

This is right up my husband’s alley. He loves pretzels and peanut butter together.
Love these, Jenny. Salty and sweet is so addicting, and the pictures are beautiful.
