Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (browned)
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs (room temperature)
- 2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (+ more for sprinkling)
- 3/4 cup broken pretzels (+ more for top)
- 1 1/2 cup caramel bits (+ more for top)
- 3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips (+ more for top)
Instructions
- Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
- To brown the butter: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, whisking as it melts, foams, bubbles, and eventually little brown bits form and it turns amber.
- Immediately pour into a large heatproof bowl and use a spatula to scrape all the little brown bits into the bowl.
- Using a stand or hand mixer, beat the vanilla and sugars into the butter for a couple minutes, until it lightens a bit.
- Beat in eggs for about 30 seconds.
- Add the baking powder, 1/2 tsp. salt, and about a third of the flour.
- Mix slowly, add another third of flour, mix, and add the last of the flour until just combined.
- Stir in the pretzels, caramel bits, and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Scoop out very large balls of dough and place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving plenty of space in between.
- Add more broken pretzel pieces, caramel bits, and chocolate chips to the tops of the dough balls to preference.
- Sprinkle with sea salt.
- Bake 13 minutes until golden around the edges.
- Remove and allow to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes.
- Then, transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For best results, make sure the butter is browned properly to enhance the flavor.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of toppings based on preference.
