Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or milk)
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter chips
  • 1 cup crushed pretzels

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined, which helps create a tender cookie texture.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, fully mixing after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  5. Fold in Chips and Pretzels: Gently fold the chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and crushed pretzels into the dough to evenly distribute all the delicious mix-ins.
  6. Shape Cookies: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop cookie dough mounds onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about two inches apart to allow for spreading.
  7. Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges turn golden while keeping the centers soft and chewy. Remove and allow cookies to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature eggs to ensure even mixing.
  • Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added to keep the cookies tender.
  • Crushed pretzels add a salty crunch, but you can adjust the amount based on your salt preference.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing the dough in portions before baking can help control cookie size and reduce spreading.
