Peanut Chews are delicious on their own. They have the perfect balance of dark chocolate, salty peanuts and a delicious chewy center. You can’t begin to imagine how delicious they are in a cookie! The small bits of Peanut Chews melt into the dough and the chewy goodness becomes almost candy-like. I added some oatmeal for texture and pretzel pieces for saltiness. The result is a well-composed cookie, I assure you. It has enough sugar without being overly sweet and just the right elements to classify this cookie as exceptional. You may never go back to a classic chocolate chip cookie after this.
Peanut Chew and Pretzel Oatmeal Cookies
Servings
24 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup 225 grams butter or coconut oil
- ½ 95 grams cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/3 65 grams cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ 155 grams cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt optional
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1 cup finely chopped pretzels
- 2 cups chopped Goldenberg’s Peanut Chews from about 2 dozen small ones
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter (or coconut oil), brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until just blended. Mix in the oats, pretzels, and Peanut Chews. Scoop heaping spoonfuls 2 inches apart onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Indulge!
Margarine will work perfectly. I just didn’t add it because I don’t use it. In general, butter and margarine can be used interchangeably.
enjoy!
Can you use another type of oil instead of coconut oil? Or margarine instead of butter?
I am so sorry you made them and they didn’t come out right. There is indeed a mistake in the salt measurement, it should be 1/8th of a teaspoon and you can also leave it out if you prefer a sweeter cookie.
Adding chocolate chips does accentuate the chocolatiness and is definitely a good idea.
Again, I apologize for the mishap, I’ll ask someone to correct it soon.
Also, thanks so much for coming back and leaving a comment. I appreciate the feedback!

Well, just made these and I want to ask you – is the salt measure correct? 1 tsp? I love salty sweet like the rest of us but – it really is too salty. I also miss the chocolate taste since these cookies were dominated by the salty variations of the Pchews and pretzels. On my last batch I added choc chips. Basically tho, I really wanted to love these cookies and they did not live up to my expectations. 🙁 sorry!
