Mile High Cookies – Peanut, Pretzel & Chocolate

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
Oatmeal Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies

You might be wondering why I call these cookies the Mile High Cookies. Recently I was asked by a company to cater some snacks for their tiny celebration party for closing a big deal. They wanted all the snacks airplane/ flight themed. Of course we could do the simple things like airplane shaped cookies, but i really wanted to create a cookie that reminded you of the snacks/ treats you get on a plane. Hence these babies were born.

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies

On your average domestic flight you are offered peanuts, pretzels and cookies. So I wanted to make a cookie that had peanuts and pretzels in them. When I started searching online to see if it had been done already, I found a variety of Peanut Pretzel cookies, but they all seemed like they’d taste way overly sweet, so I set out to create my own cookie 100% from scratch.

I really enjoy how these Mile High Cookies turned out. They have the perfect balance of sweet & salty; with a fantastic texture and chew, and a slight crunch from the pretzel.

Tips for a successful Mile High Cookie

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Pretzel Cookies
  • A big tip is browning your butter, you basically want to toast the milk solids and not burn them. Then give the browned butter time to cool down; add in extra water that evaporated to get your original starting volume.
  • Oat flour: I like texture in my cookies; so I take more oats than I need, toss them in my food processor and pulse slightly. I still want to see some pieces of oats vs all of it being turned to a fine powder.
  • Make sure you do your order of operations correctly; the key to perfect cookies is mixing the ingredients together at the appropriate time.
  • These cookies shouldn’t spread much, so you can let them chill for only 30 min – 1 hr and bake right away.

My favorite Tools for these cookies

  • KitchenAid 5qt Mixer
  • Cookie Scoops
  • Pre-cut Parchment Paper

Asian Noodle Salad (La Bou Copy Cat) P54.5 C51.8 F Asian Noodle Salad
(La Bou Copy Cat)
P54.5 C51.8 F9.9 CAL518
One of my favorite places to go to eat when I’m home in Northern California is La Bou. They have a ton of different salads, soups and sandwiches to enjoy and i always have to go a couple times to be able to get all my favorite menu items. One of those it their Asian Noodle Salad. It doesn’t typically come with chicken but i added that to it to complete the meal. I have no clue if this is close to their recipe but to me it tastes close to it! If you have room in your macros/ calories, add some chopped peanuts when you enjoy! This should be enjoyed COLD, i don’t know if it would be as good if it’s warm. 
* 8 Oz soba noodles (buckwheat, uncooked)
* 1 cup broccoli (cut bite size)
* 1/2 cup sugar snap peas (cut in thirds)
* 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced 
* 3 green onions, diced
* 1/4 cup cilantro
* 20 Oz cooked boneless skinless chicken breast
Dressing:
* 1/4 cup liquid aminos (or soy sauce)
* 2 Tb rice vinegar
* 2 Tb Mirin
* 1 Tb sesame oil
* 1 Tsp minced ginger
* 1 tsp minced garlic 
* 1 tsp siracha 

1. Bring a large pot of water to boil (no salt). Add the noodles and cook according to the package instructions.
2. Drain and rinse with cold water.
3. Boil more water and salt the water this time. Add broccoli and sugar snap peas. Cook for 2 min and remove to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. 
4. Blend the dressing ingredients together. Then toss half the dressing with the noodles and the other half with the green veggies.
5. Assemble your bowls. Weigh the dressed noodles and divide by 4. Then put that amount in each bowl. Do the same with the green veggies.
6. Divide out the red bell peppers amount the bowls, and 5oz of chicken per bowl. Then too with green onions and cilantro. 

Let me know if you end up making this! We love it! If you don’t like a little heat, then omit the siracha, but it’s only mildly spicy. #ifitfitsyourmacros #ihmloveyourbody @iheartmacros @lilmissmittsgetsfit
