Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies | Sweet & Salty Recipe

Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies | Sweet & Salty Recipe

Description

Hey there, cookie lovers! Are you ready to treat yourself to an irresistible combination of sweet and salty? These Outrageous Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies are a unique twist on your classic chocolate chip cookie, with the perfect balance of crunch from the pretzels and gooey sweetness from the chocolate chunks. They’re bound to be a hit with friends, family, or even just as a special treat for yourself! Let’s dive into how you can make these chewy delights right in your own kitchen.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pretzel pieces
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • ½ cup orange candy melts or similar

These are all pantry-friendly ingredients you probably already have on hand. For a gluten-free option, you can use gluten-free flour and gluten-free pretzels.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This helps ensure your cookies don’t stick to the sheet and bake evenly.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This step ensures that your cookies will have a light, airy texture.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Over-mixing can result in dense cookies, so be careful!
  6. Fold in pretzel pieces, chocolate chips, and orange candy melts. Make sure these are evenly distributed for the perfect bite in every cookie.
  7. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Equipment

Notes

  • If you like a softer cookie, you can slightly underbake them by pulling them out of the oven at around 9 minutes.
  • For added crunch, you can lightly toast the pretzel pieces in the oven for a few minutes before adding them to the cookie dough.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate or candy melts for extra fun flavors!
