Indulge in these Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies for a perfect sweet and salty treat. Easy to make and utterly delicious!
Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour: The base of your cookies, providing structure and texture.
- Baking Soda: Helps the cookies rise and become fluffy.
- Salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances flavors.
- Unsalted Butter: Adds richness, flavor, and moisture to the cookies.
- Brown Sugar: Contributes moisture and a deeper flavor.
- Granulated Sugar: Sweetens the dough and helps with texture.
- Vanilla Extract: Adds a wonderful aroma and flavor to the cookies.
- Egg: Acts as a binder for all the ingredients.
- Chocolate Chips: The star ingredient, delivering a delicious chocolatey flavor.
- Crushed Pretzels: For that irresistible salty crunch.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and crushed pretzels until evenly distributed.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are slightly soft.
- Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- Chill the Dough: For thicker cookies, consider chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking. This helps them hold their shape.
- Use Variety of Chocolate: Mix dark, milk, or even white chocolate chips for a more complex flavor.
