Ingredients
- 1 bag (11 oz) butterscotch chips
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 cups Itty Bitty Mini Pretzels or roughly crushed pretzels
- Maldon flake sea salt for garnish optional
Instructions
- These are the pretzels I use to make this easy recipe.
- Get out and measure all of your ingredients.
- Place the butterscotch chips and peanut butter into a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir together. Continue to microwave on 15-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
- Add the pretzels.
- Stir until fully coated.
- Line sheet trays with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop or you can eyeball it, place 1-2 tablespoon-sized mounds of the mixture, not touching.
- As soon as you place one cookie down, sprinkle with the flake sea salt and repeat.
- Place the sheet tray into the fridge until set, about 10-15 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy every bite!
- These are the pretzels I always use but bigger pretzels will work if you break them up into smaller pieces.

Notes
- These cookies are crunchy, sweet, salty. I love that you can mix up the chip flavors and make different versions of these cookies.
- You can also use any salt you prefer to sprinkle the tops.
- While they set up nicely, these cookies like most cookies of this style can be a little delicate so I do not recommend stacking a bunch in a container. Instead, layer them with parchment paper while storing.

- The flake sea salt adds an extra kick of salt but it’s not overwhelming. The butterscotch chips and peanut butter are plenty sweet to offset the saltiness from the pretzels and additional salt.

- The itty bitty mini pretzels make these cookies extra cute, however, they can be made with any pretzels. I do suggest crushing them up a bit if they are any bigger so it makes the cookies easier to eat.
