In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Line your baking sheets with parchment of Silpat liners. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle, combine butter and sugars, mixing on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add in egg and vanilla and mix until incorporated, then follow with the peanut butter.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet, mixing until smooth.
On low speed, add in the oats, chunks, and pretzels, only mixing until uniform. Too much mixing with break apart the chunks too much.
Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop dough on to prepared baking sheets.
Bake for about 10 minutes, until bottoms are barely browning and tops no longer look wet.
Cool cookies on baking sheet for 5 minutes, before moving them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
