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 a silicone baking mat.
- Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
- To brown the butter, melt it in a saucepan over medium heat while whisking. Watch for foaming, bubbling, and the formation of brown bits, until it turns amber.
- Pour the browned butter into a heatproof bowl, scraping all the little brown bits into the bowl.
- Using a stand or hand mixer, beat the vanilla extract and sugars into the butter for a few minutes until it lightens.
- Beat in the eggs for about 30 seconds.
- Add the baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a third of the flour. Mix slowly, then add another third, and finally the last of the flour until just combined.
- Stir in the pretzels, caramel bits, and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Scoop out large balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space in between each ball.
- Top each dough ball with additional broken pretzel pieces, caramel bits, and chocolate chips as desired.
- Sprinkle with sea salt.
- Bake for 13 minutes until golden around the edges.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
