White Chocolate Pretzel Cookies
These delicious white chocolate cookies are packed with oats, sunflower seed butter, white chocolate chips, and pretzels for a delicious and nut-free cookie!
Servings: 16 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter at room temperature
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sunflower seed butter
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup crushed pretzels
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine oats, flour, baking soda, and salt, stirring well to combine. In a large mixing bowl, mix butter on medium till light and fluffy. Add in both sugars, mixing till thoroughly combined, then mix in sunflower seed butter till smooth. On low speed (or by hand) stir in egg and vanilla till fully combined.
- Slowly pour in the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in 1/2 cup increments, stirring on low or by hand with a wood spoon. Crush pretzels by placing them in a plastic bag and smashing with your hand till in very small pieces. With a spatula or wood spoon, stir in pretzels and white chocolate chips to the cookie dough. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and cover baking sheets with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Use an ice cream scoop to scoop dough (about 2-2 1/2 inches) and roll to a nice ball. Flatten just a bit on top (these don't spread much) and bake for 10-12 minutes till light brown. Depending on your oven, go with a lower time as white chocolate pieces can burn easily.
- Allow them to cool at least 5 minutes on the tray before transferring to a wire rack. These are very delicate till they have cooled a little bit!
Notes
- For gluten free, use gluten free certified oats and gluten free all purpose 1:1 flour, like Bob's Red Mill, as well as gluten free pretzels like Snyders.
- For white chocolate I like to use Divine, Callebaut, or Ghirardelli.
- For sunflower seed butter, I prefer to use Trader Joe's Unsweetened Sunflower Seed Spread. Just make sure it's drippy. If you're not sensitive to peanuts, peanut butter can also be subbed in.
