Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (180g) caramel bits
  • 1 cup (100g) crunchy pretzel pieces
  • Sea salt flakes for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (227g) of softened unsalted butter, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, and 1 cup (200g) brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with a stand mixer or 5 minutes by hand.
  3. Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Fold in 1 cup (180g) of caramel bits and 1 cup (100g) of pretzel pieces until evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Lightly sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of sea salt flakes.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked—that’s okay! They’ll firm up as they cool.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies.’, ‘Chill the dough for 20-30 minutes if it feels too sticky or if you want thicker cookies.’, ‘Slightly underbaking helps achieve a soft, chewy center.’, ‘Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes to ensure even baking.’, ‘Customize the crunch by adjusting the size of pretzel pieces.’]
