Description

A delicious combination of sweet and salty flavors in a cookie.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
  • 1 ¼ cups light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg (at room temperature)
  • 1 large egg yolk (at room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup pretzels (broken into pieces)
  • ½ cup potato chips (lightly crushed)
  • ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup caramel or butterscotch chips
  • ¼ cup mini M&Ms

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk butter and sugars together until well combined.
  3. Whisk in egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until combined.
  4. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Use a rubber spatula to mix again until just combined.
  5. Add pretzels, potato chips, chocolate chips, caramel chips, and mini M&Ms. Mix until just incorporated. You may need to use your hands to mix it in if that’s easier.
  6. Scoop ¼ cup of batter at a time and form into balls. Place on the baking sheets about 3 inches apart. Lightly flatten each ball with your hand.
  7. Top with additional pretzels, chips, chocolate chips, or M&Ms.
  8. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until edges of the cookies are lightly browned and middles are just set.
  9. Let cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before removing.

Notes

  • Using different types of pretzels or chips can change the flavor profile.
