Description

These chewy, colorful cookies combine strawberry jello, peanut butter chips, and crunchy pretzels for a sweet and salty treat ready in under 30 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (3 oz) strawberry Jello mix
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 cup peanut butter chips
  • 1 cup mini pretzels
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and strawberry Jello mix until evenly distributed.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in peanut butter chips, mini pretzels, and white chocolate chips.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between them.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers look slightly soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Measure flour by spooning it into the cup and leveling off to avoid dense cookies. Do not overmix the dough to ensure soft cookies. If dough is too sticky, chill for 15 minutes before scooping. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
