Method
 

Step‑By‑Step Instructions
  1. Gather all your ingredients—unsalted butter, sugars, creamy peanut butter, flour, baking soda, salt, dark chocolate chips, and pretzels. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a stand mixer, combine unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add creamy peanut butter and mix on low speed until fully incorporated, about 1 minute.
  4. Gradually sift in flour, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold until just combined.
  5. Fold in dark chocolate chips and crushed pretzel pieces evenly throughout the dough.
  6. Scoop dough onto baking sheets, cover with plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  7. Bake for 11-12 minutes, flattening cookies halfway through baking. The edges should be golden while the center remains soft.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
