Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups crushed pretzels
- 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, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips and crushed pretzels using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of flaky sea salt onto each cookie for an extra pop of flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear slightly underbaked (they will continue to set as they cool).
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your sweet and salty Chocolate Pretzel Cookies with a cold glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
