Let’s be honest: the Wetzel is doing most of the heavy lifting here. Baked into a classic chocolate chip cookie, it delivers that crave-worthy mix of sweet, salty, and melty in every bite.
Makes 16 cookies
Ingredients:
-
1 cup salted butter (2 sticks) softened
-
3/4 cup granulated sugar
-
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
2 eggs
-
2 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
-
1 tsp baking soda
-
1 tsp salt — we recommend REDMOND Real Sea Salt
-
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate morsels
-
Holiday sprinkles
Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven to 375° F
-
Cream together the butter and sugars in either a large bowl with an electric hand mixer or with a stand mixer.
-
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until thoroughly incorporated.
-
Add the vanilla and mix well.
-
Add the flour, baking soda and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms.
-
Add the chocolate morsels, mixing until evenly distributed.
-
Drop 1 tbsp rounds of dough on an ungreased cookie sheet.
-
Bake at 375°F for 7-9 minutes or until golden brown on the edges.
-
When the cookies are done baking, pull them out of the oven and push the pretzels into the center of the cookies.
-
When the chocolate on the pretzels begins to look melty, add the sprinkles.
