Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.33 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Mini pretzels, crushed
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoon Flaky sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a handheld or stand mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl, mixing until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a uniform dough forms.
Gently fold in the crushed pretzels and semi-sweet chocolate chips using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
If desired, lightly press additional crushed pretzels or a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each dough ball for garnish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain slightly soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the cookies fresh, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
