The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe Ever

Let’s talk about the cookies…

They are Salty Pretzel Chocolate Chippers.

I know.

The base is a flippin’ amazing browned butter cookie dough, loaded with salty pretzel crumbs and chocolate chips.

It doesn’t get any better.

How to Make Salty Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies:

The steps are pretty basic and there is no chilling the dough!  Can I get an amen-hallelujah?

Just brown your butter in a saucepan and let it cool slightly.

Mix that in with some brown sugar.

Of course I used my favorite KitchenAid® mixer.

I crushed up some small twist pretzels.  About a cup and a half…

Mix them right into the batter…

Once you have that all set, go ahead and use a large cookies scoop to portion them out.  (Here’s the link to my favorite cookie scoop)

Bake them up.  DO NOT OVERBAKE…if anything take them out when you think they aren’t quite done.  Trust me on this.

And don’t bother waiting until they are cooled.
