Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 item large egg
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup crushed pretzel pieces
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the vanilla extract and egg until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Fold in the crushed pretzel pieces, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. The centers may look slightly soft but will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them rest on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies are cooling, make the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the cookies have cooled completely, drizzle the glaze over the top of each cookie using a spoon or piping bag.
Allow the glaze to set for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
