Pretzel-Crusted Cookies Recipe

American · Dessert · 27 min total

Sweet and salty collide in these soft, chewy cookies with a crunchy pretzel crust. Perfect for satisfying both cravings in one bite.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups crushed pretzels (not too fine)
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
5. Fold in crushed pretzels and chocolate chips.
6. Roll dough into 1.5-inch balls. For extra crunch, roll each ball in additional crushed pretzels to coat.
7. Place balls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers are still soft.
8. Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Tips

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
• For a prettier presentation, press a few whole mini pretzels into the tops before baking.
• If dough is too sticky, chill for 30 minutes before rolling.
