Prep time: 30 minutes

Cook time: 14 minutes

Ready in: 44 minutes

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup butter
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 1 teaspoons baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 12-ounce packages of semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups pretzel sticks, crushed

1. Prepare the oven and the baking sheet

Turn on the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

2. Combine the moist ingredients

In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugars together with an electric mixer. Beat in the eggs and vanilla to form a smooth mixture.

3. Combine the dry ingredients

In a small bowl, mix the flour, baking soda and salt together.

4. Make the dough

Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until dough forms.

5. Add the chocolate chips and pretzels

Coarsely crush the pretzels. Use the mixer to carefully beat the chocolate chips and crushed pretzels into the dough.

6. Bake the cookies

Drop the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet with a tablespoon. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes. Baking the cookies for a shorter period of time creates chewy cookies, while baking them longer produces crisp cookies.
