If you’re looking for a decadent cookie that will satisfy your sweet tooth and your snack cravings in one, look no further. This chocolate chip cookie recipe with pretzels is chewy, crunchy, salty and sweet all in one insanely indulgent bite.Â
While the cookie dough starts off like a traditional chocolate chip cookie, the magic happens when you add the sweet sourdough pretzel nuggets. This is what takes these chocolate chip and pretzel cookies to the next level. The pretzels retain their crunchy texture and give the cookies a blast of flavor, depending on which variety of sweet OMG! Pretzels you use.Â
For some spice, opt for our Sweet & Spicy or Sweet Chili pretzel nuggets in your chocolate chip cookies with pretzels. For a more classic taste, add Sweet & Salty or Salty Butterscotch OMG! Pretzels to the dough.Â
The other trick for these chocolate chip pretzel cookies is the size. We like to use an ice cream scoop to portion the dough. Making the chocolate chip pretzel cookie large like this ensures each bite will have the textures and flavors you want. We also use a bit more brown sugar and bake these at a lower temperature to create the perfect combination of chewy cookie dough and crunchy pretzel.Â
If these pretzel chocolate chip cookies aren’t indulgent enough as is, you can drizzle the pretzel nuggets in chocolate before you add them to the dough. If you do take this extra step, here are some flavor combinations we recommend:
- Sweet Chili OMG! Pretzels and ruby chocolate
- Sweet & Salty OMG! Pretzels with milk chocolate
- Salty Butterscotch OMG! Pretzels white chocolate
- Sweet & Spicy OMG! Pretzels with dark chocolate
