Chocolate & Peanut Butter Chip Pretzel Cookies

Chef SuzyQ's Note:

I found this recipe one day on a food blog and was immediately drawn to the combination of sweet and salty. It didn't disappoint! Very, very yummy and an immediate hit with my kids. The texture of soft cookie (do NOT overbake), along with the crunch of the pretzel sends this right on over the top. Enjoy!

4. Add the flour mixture and beat just until there are no more streaks of flour.
5. Stir in the chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and preztels (you should have about 1/2 cup of coarsely crushed pretzels) . Cover and refrigerate for an hour.
