Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened at room temperature
  • 1 cup light brown sugar soft brown sugar or muscovado, firmly packed
  • 1 large egg ideally at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1¼ cup all purpose flour or plain flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon flaked sea salt plus a little extra to sprinkle on the baked cookies
  • 1½ oz salted pretzels plus a few extra to top the cookies
  • 4 oz semi sweet chocolate chips or chocolate chunks

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  2. Next add the egg and vanilla, beating to combine.
  3. Sift the flour and baking soda into the sugar mixture and add the flaked sea salt. Stir with a spatula to combine into a dough.
  4. Place 1.5 oz of pretzels into a ziploc bag and seal. Smash the pretzels with a rolling pin or other heavy utensil, until these are crushed into smaller bits.
  5. Pour the pretzel pieces and chocolate chips into the cookie dough and stir to combine.
  6. Dollop balls of cookie dough onto a piece of parchment paper or a plate and chill in the refrigerator for about an hour (up to 3 days).
  7. Meanwhile preheat your oven to 350°F (175C/155C Fan) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  8. Once the dough has chilled, place the balls of dough well spaced on the cookie sheet and top each with a pretzel pressed lightly into the top centre. Bake in the centre of the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes until the edges are darkening.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat the baking process until you are out of dough balls.

Notes

  • Keep the dough in the refrigerator until ready to bake. This means if you're making batches, leave any dough balls that aren't going straight in the oven in the fridge to stay cool while you are baking.
