Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup crushed pretzels
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened butter and 1 cup of brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add in 1/2 teaspoon of salt and mix until combined. Then, add in 1 teaspoon of baking soda and mix well.
- Gradually add in 2 cups of all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.
- Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 cup of crushed pretzels using a spatula or wooden spoon. Make sure the pretzels and chocolate are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious cookies aux bretzels et pepites de chocolat with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- Make sure your butter is softened, but not melted. Room temperature butter creates the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can make your cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes, which ensures even baking.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This helps them set and prevents breaking.
- For extra flavor, try using salted pretzels to enhance the sweet-salty contrast.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and crisp texture.
- For a fun variation, try using different types of chocolate chips or mix in some chopped nuts for added crunch.
