If you like traditional Cornflake Cookies, aka Lunch Room Cookies or Lunch Lady Cookies, you’ll like these peanut butter pretzle cookies. I replaced cornflakes with pretzels and added peanuts, too.

They are chewy and crunchy, as well as salty and sweet. These characteristics make the perfect treat in my opinion. Am I right?

How to Make No-Bake Peanut Butter Pretzels

Follow these steps for the best results.

1. Start by adding the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and milk to a saucepan. Warm it over medium heat until everything melts together and starts to bubble.
2. Let it boil for about a minute while you keep stirring. It will get very hot and bubbly, so take care.
3. After the full minute of boiling, pull the pan off the heat and set it aside.
4. Stir in the peanut butter and vanilla. It may take a moment for the heat to loosen up the peanut butter, so keep mixing until it’s smooth.
5. Add the salt and oatmeal and stir until every bit of the oatmeal is coated. Use a medium cookie scoop to drop mounds of the mixture onto a silicone or parchment-lined baking sheet. Let the cookies sit for at least 15 minutes to firm up, or pop the pan in the fridge if you want them to set faster.

No-Bake Peanut Butter Pretzels Cooking Tips

For best results, follow these recommendations.

• Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother texture, but crunchy works if you like added bite.
• Measure all your ingredients before you start. This recipe moves quickly, and you won’t have time to measure as you go.
• Using a spring-release scoop makes dropping them faster. You’ll want to scoop quickly before the mixture begins to cool and harden.
• Drop the cookies on a silicone mat, parchment paper, or waxed paper. They’ll remove more easily.
• Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container in a single layer or with parchment paper between layers to prevent them from sticking together.

Substitutions

Swap pretzels for Bugles for a different twist.

You can use almond or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.

Cookie butter is another option instead of peanut butter.
