Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temp
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3 tsp cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup pretzels chopped

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350F.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add vanilla.
  • Add in the eggs one at a time, scraping the sides of the bowl if necessary.
  • Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Fold in the butterscotch chips, chocolate chips and pretzels.
  • Cover the bowl and chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
  • On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, scoop the cookie dough onto the tray into large balls (about 2 tablespoons).
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes until tops are slightly brown.
  • Once out of the oven, sprinkle each cookie with a small dash of sea salt.
  • Let sit on the tray for 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.

Notes

*You’ll definitely want to chill the dough. We attempted this recipe without chilling just to see what would happen and my cookies spread so much we basically ended up with 1 giant cookie.
*This dough can also be frozen and used at a later time. Just let come to room temperate before baking.
