I made these and wrote about them here. For some reason they didn't set up very well. Luckily, they were still every bit as delicious as I had imagined. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

this is the first Brown Eyed Baker recipe that has got me hooked! the only problem is that I like the dough just as much as the actual cookie (:

OMG. I made these last week, and they were so good that I am making them again tonight. A definite MUST-MAKE. I’m going to try adding more chocolate this time. Either way, favorite cookies yet.

I made a double batch of these this morning…one for home and to share with neighbors, and another to leave with son/dil when I visit them tomorrow. I used a combo of semi sweet and peanut butter chips, and for the top I did melt peanut butter and chocolate chips together in the microwave (for the drizzle). We have enjoyed a few so far, but it was “just okay” for me….nothing too special. I like the taste of the added pretzels on top…the ones in the batter seem to have lost any distinct flavor for me, although the crunch is still there. I love this site, and have made many really good recipes from here so far. But, I think I’ll try a different cookie bar next time. Or a brownie….mmmmmm.

Hi Patti, I use regular peanut butter for all of my baking (although I eat natural!). I think if you used a natural like Jif that doesn’t really separate you would okay but the ones you need to refrigerate that tend to be oily might not work as well as it could end up oily.

These look amazing!! Can you use natural peanut butter for the drizzle or do you use the regular skippy/jif kind?

Hi Melissa, I honestly can’t remember the exact brand of pretzels that I’ve used, but probably something like Snyder’s. Another thing you may want to try is using hard (thick) or sourdough pretzels, as they are inherently crunchier.

Hi Michelle, Would you mind letting me know what pretzel you recommend? I made some sweet/salty cookies with pretzels and noticed the pretzels seemed a little “stale” in texture after a day. Thanks!

Hi Rei, I’m sorry to hear you had broken down, mushy pretzels! The one thing that I thought of was what type of pretzels did you use? I think maybe something like Rold Gold, that are inherently buttery, might break down than some other varieties.

just made these today for a co-workers birthday. did anyone else have problems with the pretzels getting too soggy? i just tried my cooled batch and noticed the pretzels had turned into an unpleasant piece of mush. i am afraid if i serve them at work without an explanation that people will think they are an un-identified object that mistakenly made it’s way into my batter!

in all the pictures i’ve seen it appears the pretzels have held up better. thoughts?

I know this was posted a year ago but I wanted to comment that I made these tonight and opted for the drizzling on top because the cookie needed a little extra something. I followed the recipe and melted the pb in a ziplock bag and when I took it out some dripped on the floor and I realized it burned a hole through the bag. To save my floors I instintively cupped the open part under my hand and now I have half my left hand severely burnt. ugh. Be careful everyone when you melt it!

Not bad, but they were lacking that “WOW” factor that I look for when trying new recipes. I love to bake and try new recipes, but I have enough other recipes that are alot better, so I don’t see myself making these again. With that said, however, we did polish off the entire pan pretty quickly! I adore anything with chocolate and pretzels, but this just wasn’t what I was looking for. I little too cakey, I guess, maybe I need something with more crunch. My 6-year-old said they tasted like “stale pretzels.” Sorry!

Made these yesterday for a picnic and they were delicious! A nice change from the ordinary cookie and bar. The peanut butter and chocolate drizzle really hooked me on them!
