Description

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

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and crushed pretzels until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are slightly soft.
  9. 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.
