No Bake Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies #cookies

My boys had their piano festival and recital last weekend! Wrangling these boys into practicing the piano is about like herding cats. I keep convincing myself all the hassle will be worth it to them someday. It’s already worth it to me! Their piano teacher is the BEST! She asked me to bring cookies to their recital and I knew these were the cookies I wanted to make. Fast, easy, and always a hit! That’s my kind of cookie!

Gently fold until cereal and pretzels are coated.

No Bake Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies – The Tricks

My friends, this is the hardest, and most time consuming, part of making these cookies…we’re talking five minutes at the most.

Wait for a few minutes, 3-5 minutes if you can. You want to wait long enough to let the cookies cool enough that they don’t completely melt the chocolate chips when you add them. But you don’t want to wait so long that the cookies are already set up and firm.

Add chocolate chips. When you stir, try and stir as gently and as little as possible so the chips don’t get all melted together, which won’t taste bad, it’s just not as pretty.
