  • 1 teaspoon baking soda (5 g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (2 g)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (226 g)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed (150 g)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 g)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)

  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (120 ml), plus extra for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and crushed pretzels.
  7. Drizzle in the caramel sauce and gently fold it into the dough.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still soft.
  10. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce and sprinkle with sea salt.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, use vegan butter and dairy-free chocolate chips.
  • For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
  • Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking for better shape.
