Ingredients
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter melted (1½ sticks)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped pretzels
- sea salt flakes optional, for topping
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar together until well combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla and whisk until the mixture turns pale yellow, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms, about 30 seconds.
- Gently fold the chocolate chips and chopped pretzels into the dough, being careful not to break up the pretzels too much.
- Tightly cover the dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes. While the dough chills, preheat oven to 375°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Remove the chilled cookie dough from the refrigerator. Use a cookie scoop to scoop 2-tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, making sure to place them at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until they edges begin to lightly brown.
- Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet. They'll continue to set as they cool. While the cookies are still warm, sprinkle with sea salt flakes.

Notes
- Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
- Gently fold the chocolate chips and chopped pretzels into the cookie dough so the pretzels don't break into tiny pieces.
- Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets before transferring them to a cooling rack or storage container. They'll continue to set as they cool.
- For an extra pop of flavor, sprinkle the warm cookies with sea salt flakes!
