These cookies do not spread out like regular cookies but, rather, they hold their shape in more of a "ball" form by design. If you want your cookies to be flatter, flatten each dough ball with the back of your hand before baking.
Ingredients
  • 1 pouch Betty Crocker chocolate chip cookie mix
  • 1 stick butter, softened
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup creamy natural peanut butter (I didn't test with regular peanut butter, but I think it would work!)
  • ¾ cup miniature pretzels, finely chopped/crushed
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 350F.
  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together the cookie mix, butter, egg and peanut butter until a soft dough forms and all ingredients are well combined. Beat in the pretzels and pecans until evenly combined.
  3. Scoop dough by rounded tablespoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet (or use a cookie scoop like I did.) Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden brown and set. Cool on baking sheet 2 minutes; cool completely on wire cooling rack.
