Caramel Pretzel Cookie
🤣
Recipe ⬇️
Ingredients
• 1 stick (113g) softened unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
• 1/2 cup (100g) white sugar
• 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
• 1tsp or a little more! (2-3g) vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups (188g) flour
• 1/2 tsp (3g) baking soda
• A small pinch of baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt (3g)
• Chocolate chips (eye-ball)
• crushed up thin pretzels (eye-ball)
• @werthers soft caramels
METHOD
1. Mix the softened butter and sugar first until sand-like consistency.
2. Add vanilla extract and eggs. Mix.
3. Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a seperate bowl and then add in to the rest (I like to mix in 1/3 of the mixture at a time)
4. Add in your chocolate chips and pretzel pieces and mix.
5. Form the dough into taller, bigger balls (this gives you that thick, bakery-style look). Note: for the people who want exact measurements, they were about 150-160g each.
6. Fill the inside of the balls with 2-3 pieces of caramel, make sure that they are covered with the dough.
7. Top the cookies with some pretzels and chocolate chips and you can add in some chopped up caramel pieces if you’d like (I did).
8. Freeze the dough balls for around 20-30 minutes.
9. Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes or longer if needed. Note: they might need more than 15 minutes, so BAKE UNTIL GOLDEN BROWN.
10. Let cool on rack or cold plate.
Tip 1: if 15 minutes is over and the cookies aren’t golden brown, put them in for a little longer.
Tip 2: if they’re too tall, not baked enough or too “cake-like”, you can *slightly* bang them onto a counter into them when they come out of the oven. This will collapse the middle, creating the ripples you want.

About this Recipe
Indulge in the Ultimate Caramel Pretzel Cookie Recipe
Get ready to bake a cookie that rivals your favorite gourmet bakery! Our Caramel Pretzel Cookie recipe brings together the irresistible combination of sweet and salty in every single bite. Imagine a soft, chewy cookie base studded with melty chocolate chips, generously filled with gooey, soft caramels, and topped with crunchy pretzel pieces. This isn't just any cookie; it's a bakery-style masterpiece designed for ultimate flavor and texture.
What makes these homemade Caramel Pretzel Cookies truly special? It's the thoughtful details that ensure a decadent experience. We start with a rich, buttery dough, enhanced with an extra egg yolk for that signature chewiness. The magic happens when we encase soft Werther's caramels right inside each cookie dough ball, guaranteeing a molten caramel center that oozes with every break.
Tips for Baking Perfect Bakery-Style Cookies
Achieving that coveted thick, soft, and slightly crinkled look is easier than you think!
- Form Large Dough Balls: To get that impressive bakery-style thickness, create generous dough balls, around 150-160g each. This allows the cookie to spread beautifully while staying wonderfully thick.
- Don't Skip the Freeze: Freezing your cookie dough balls for 20-30 minutes before baking is crucial. This helps them hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too quickly, resulting in a thicker, chewier cookie.
- Bake Until Golden: Ovens vary, so trust your eyes over the clock. Bake your Caramel Pretzel Cookies until they are perfectly golden brown around the edges, even if it takes a bit longer than 15 minutes.
- The Cookie "Bang" Method: For that desirable crinkled, ripple effect and a chewier texture, gently bang the baking sheet onto the counter a couple of times right after they come out of the oven. This helps the cookies deflate slightly in the middle.
Delicious Variations & Serving Suggestions
These salty-sweet cookies are fantastic on their own, but here are a few ideas to elevate your cookie experience:
- Chocolate Choices: Experiment with milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chunks, or even white chocolate for a different flavor profile.
- Nutty Addition: A sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts in the dough would add another layer of crunch and flavor.
- Serve Warm: There's nothing quite like a warm Caramel Pretzel Cookie with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a cold glass of milk. They're perfect for dessert, a special treat, or sharing with friends and family. Get ready to impress everyone with these incredible homemade cookies!
