salted pretzel milk chocolate cookie bars
Love me some sweet and salty fun on a cookie tray!
Ingredients
- 2 sticks butter, softened
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup pretzel twists, crushed
- 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9 x 13 inch cake pan with parchment.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Whip in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla extract. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined. Fold in the crushed pretzels and the milk chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
- Spread the dough into the prepared cake pan. Top with additional pretzel twists and milk chocolate chips, if desired. Bake 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is no longer shiny. Let cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes. Slice and serve!
Notes
*To make ahead: Cookie bars can be prepped through step 3 and chilled for up to 3 days before serving!
