Description

Sweet and salty euphoria!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Cake Flour
  • 1-⅔ cup Bread Flour
  • 1-¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1-½ teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1-½ teaspoon Coarse Salt Plus Extra For Sprinkling
  • 2-½ sticks Butter
  • 1-¼ cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips
  • ½ cups Chopped Or Crushed Pretzels (in Small Broken Up Pieces)
  • ½ cups Reese's Pieces

Preparation

Combine flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Set aside.

Cream butter and sugars together until very light. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.

Reduce speed to low, add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Drop chocolate pieces, crushed pretzels, and Reese’s Pieces in and incorporate them.

Scoop dough balls onto a cookie sheet, about 2-3 tablespoonfuls in size. Bake at 350ºF for about 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Sprinkle with sea salt.

Note: At 7 minutes, they will be underbaked, and that’s okay. I always adjust the time for each batch depending on how they look, so use your best judgement. When in doubt, go for more under-baked. When they cool, they will be chewier (and they are delicious in the freezer)!

Yummy!!!! Made these for a bridal shower and EVERYONE loved them!! I refrigerated the dough and they still came out perfectly! (wasn’t sure they would for some reason) This is the 1st cookie recipe that actually made the exact amount the recipe said!! I would agree with another review- add more pretzels! :) SO good. Will make these again!! Oh and yes the salt on top… perfection!

I made these for a picnic over labor day weekend, and everyone liked them. Next time I make them, I will probably add more pretzels and less chocolate to make them a little more savory. I will also cook them a little less time. 7 minutes was too soft, and I think I baked them a bit too long (around 15 minutes). I loved the salt on top!

I made these over the weekend and LOVED them – which is saying a lot, since I don’t usually love cookies. But, I normally don’t like cookies because I find them too sweet, but the balance of salt and sweet was perfect in these! Don’t skip the sprinkle of sea salt on top!

I made these cookies as a thank you for a friend. First the good: rave reviews! Everyone was excited by the ingredients. They baked beautifully. I baked mine for about 10-11 minutes; 7 minutes left the cookies jiggly. I have been trying for years to make cookies that were dense and soft, not thin pancake-like frisbees that spread too much. I am going to work with the two types of flours from now on, they were just beautiful! My only two complaints were more about my personal taste. 1. They were a bit too sweet for me, I might back off one or both sugars slightly. 2. I didn’t care for the Reese’s Pieces, the candy coating I think put the sweetness over the top. Next time I make these (soon!) I will use peanut butter chips instead, that aren’t as sweet and don’t have the candy shell. Maybe even use bittersweet chocolate too, to make them exta rich. I highly recommend, my friend whom I made them for told me he was in a cooki coma the next day!
