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

I’ve neglected my little food blog and social me I’ve neglected my little food blog and social media accounts for so long. Besides going through a couple years of having babies. Building a home, selling a home having another baby, moving etc, I’ve also maybe never felt like the name I chose out of desperation for a food blog name really fit with what I wanted to post about or about me. I’ve been really trying to figure out what I want to share and how to share it and give the best value to people. I’ve always loved gardening, loved canning and preserving food, I love teaching my kids to cook and love food, i love all sorts of cuisine and I love throwing dinner parties. With our new home I now have a place I can entertainer more, a prettier kitchen to photograph and film in, a very large garden with space to have an outdoor dining table to literally eat Farm to Table. I want to focus my blog on basically all of that. Teaching and learning more gardening techniques, learning more about food preservation, entertaining year round and cooking with my kids. 

I’d love YOUR input in what I should change the name to… please drop your ideas below. If I pick yours I’ll make you some caramels or smoked salsa or something I can mail you if you aren’t local to me. 

Thank you! #newbrand #farmtotable #cookingwithkids #foodpreservation #dinnerparties #helpme

Living here we will never have to worry about getting pinched for not having green! 🤣

The exterior color scheme has had my stomach in knots ever since we chose it. I knew the other homes on our street were all going to be white and so our home would look drastically different. I wasn’t sure how it would all turn out, but I LOVE IT 😍! One day we’d love to do copper gutters and coordinating fascia and soffits. But I even love the white. 

We just had our final walk through before our final inspection!! I can’t believe the day has come that we finally will be moving in! March 24th cannot come fast enough!

We like to say “Indi understood the assignment”.

Tonight I made us a spicy salmon poke bowl with sushi rice, pickled carrots, cabbage, avocado, edamame and cucumbers. I made the kids a honey glazed pan seared salmon and they ate all the same items in our bowl. 

Do you have a favorite salmon recipe? I have a few but would love to try more! Let me know yours below👇🏼!!

It’s PEACH TIME! Our f#very first fruiting in ou It’s PEACH TIME! Our f#very first fruiting in our peach tree and our last time we will get to enjoy peaches from this tree as we are moving in a few months! So glad we got to enjoy the fruits of our labor with this tree! Also, if you have small children and plan to harvest while pregnant, I HIGHLY recommend planting an “easy pick” pruned peach tree! I only needed a ladder for like 20 peaches max. My kids were able to pick and reach most of them! #parentwin
