Description

Big ol’ cookies packed with pretzels, chocolate chunks, peanuts and Take 5 candy bar pieces.

Ingredients

  • 2-¼ cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1-½ teaspoon Cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ¾ cups Unsalted Butter, melted
  • ¾ cups Packed Light Brown Sugar
  • ½ cups Granulated Sugar
  • 1  Large Egg
  • 1  Egg Yolk
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 3  Take 5 Candy Bars, 1.5 Ounce Bars, Unwrapped And Chopped Into Small Chunks
  • 6 ounces, weight Chopped Dark Chocolate (or 1 Cup Chocolate Chips)
  • ½ cups Chopped Pretzels
  • ¼ cups Halved Peanuts

Preparation

In a medium sized bowl, whisk together flour, soda, cornstarch and salt.

In a large bowl, use a whisk or electric beater to beat together butter and sugars until no lumps remain. Add egg, yolk and vanilla extract and continue to beat until smooth. Slowly stir in the flour mixture until batter comes together. Stir in candy cars, chocolate chunks, pretzels and peanuts.

Chill dough for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper.

If you’re in a hurry and don’t have time to chill the dough, scoop 2 heaping tablespoons (or 2 ounces) of dough in round balls onto cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Then put the cookie sheets into the freezer and freeze dough for 15 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 325 F.

Bake for 11-13 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. The cookies will look soft and underdone. That’s okay. Remove from oven and set pans on a rack when done. Allow the cookies to set up on the baking sheet for 3-4 minutes then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cookies keep in an airtight container for up to a week.

These are amazing – best new cookie recipe I have found in a long time. Salty, sweet – not too crunchy – not too soft – perfection! Thanks for sharing.
