Ingredients
To make Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup crushed pretzels
These ingredients will help you create delicious cookies. Make sure to gather everything before you start. You can adjust the amounts if you prefer more chocolate or pretzels.
Using crushed pretzels adds a fun crunch. You can also try different types of chocolate chips if you want. Enjoy your baking!
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This helps your cookies bake evenly.
In a large bowl, mix together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until it’s creamy. You can use a hand mixer or a whisk.
Add in the eggs, one at a time, and stir until blended. Then, add a splash of vanilla extract for flavor.
In another bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly mix this dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Don’t forget to mix well.
Fold in the chocolate chips and pretzel pieces. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop out tablespoons of dough and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave some space between each cookie, so they don’t stick together.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers might look soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This makes them the perfect texture!
Enjoy your delicious Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies!
