    Why You’ll Love These Chocolate Chip Cookies With Pretzels

    One of my favorite combinations is sweet and salty. So that's why I added salty pretzels to these sweet homemade cookies. The pretzels do become a bit soft when baked in the cookie dough, however they add more flavor and texture. You can just add crushed pretzels on top of the cookies instead of in the dough if you don't want them to get as soft during the baking process.

    What Are Everything But The Kitchen Sink Cookies?

    Everything cookies are so fun to make because you get to come up with new flavor combinations and use up ingredients that are hanging out in the back of your pantry. A handful of raisins? The bottom of a bag of potato chips? Toss them right in!

    Made With Chocolate Chunks, Rolled Oats & Chocolate-Coated Candies

    For this batch of kitchen sink cookies, I used what I already had on hand: chocolate, pretzels, oats, chocolate candies like M&Ms and a pinch of cinnamon. You can certainly add other mix-ins like:

    • Shredded coconut
    • Chopped nuts
    • Mini marshmallows
    • Toffee candy
    • Potato chips
    • Raisins or dried fruit
    • Chopped dates

    • Method: Bake
    • Cuisine: American

    Ingredients

    Units Scale
    • ½ cup butter, melted and slightly cooled
    • ½ cup brown sugar, lightly packed
    • ⅓ cup white sugar
    • 1 large egg
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
    • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
    • ½ cup chocolate chips
    • ⅓ cup pretzels (mini pretzels work great as well)
    • ¼ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
    • 2 tablespoons chocolate-coated candies (like M&Ms)

    Instructions

    1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugars. Next, add egg and vanilla and whisk to combine.
    2. Stir in the dry ingredients to form the cookie dough. Fold in chocolate chips, pretzels, oats and chocolate-coated candies.
    3. For best texture, refrigerate dough for at least 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F.
    4. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to cookie dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top each cookie dough ball with a few pretzel pieces and chocolate-coated candies.
    5. Bake cookies for about 12 minutes or until the edges are golden. Let cool before removing from the baking sheet. Store in an airtight container for 5 days.

    Notes

    If you want to use less sugar, you can decrease the white sugar to ¼ cup.

    You can substitute chopped chocolate bars for chocolate chips.
