Pretzel No Bake Cookie Recipe

I’m so excited to share another fun Christmas cookie exchange recipe. Almost everyone loves a good no back cookie recipe, and almost everyone loves salt and chocolate. So… I decided to combine the two to give you a new twist on the traditional no bake cookie with old fashioned oats recipe.

I give you a salty, chocolatey, pretzel no bake cookie recipe. YUM! You make the no bake cookies just like you normally would but you toss in crushed up pretzels!! Can I get a WOOHOO!?

The best part about making this cookie (from my 8 year old’s perspective) is to crush up the pretzels. Get the kids involved. We placed the pretzels in a plastic baggie and let the boy beat up the bag. He had a blast – maybe a bit too much fun. 🙂
