Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 unit large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1.5 cups pretzels, crushed
- 24 units Rolo candies, unwrapped
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, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and kosher salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the crushed pretzels, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Lightly press a Rolo candy into the center of each portion of dough, flattening them slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy!
