Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 unit large egg
- 320 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 200 grams milk chocolate chips or melting chocolate
- optional toppings (sprinkles, sea salt flakes, etc.)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Mix in the vanilla extract and the egg until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
Divide the dough into 24 equal portions (approximately 25 grams each). Roll each portion into a long rope about 10 inches (25 cm) in length.
Shape each rope of dough into a pretzel by forming a U-shape, crossing the ends over each other, and pressing them onto the bottom curve.
Place each pretzel shape on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just golden. The cookies should still be slightly soft in the center.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Melt the milk chocolate chips or melting chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Dip each cooled cookie pretzel halfway into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off, and place them back on the parchment paper.
If desired, sprinkle toppings like sprinkles or sea salt onto the chocolate before it sets.
Allow the chocolate to cool and harden completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.
