Scale

Ingredients

2 – 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
3/4 cup milk chocolate chunks (cut from a bar)
3/4 cup dark chocolate chunks (cut from a bar)
3/4 cup mini pretzels, chopped
10 werther’s soft chew caramels cut with kitchen shears into a bowl with some flour
flaked salt or course sea salt


Instructions

  1. Whisk together flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
  2. Beat together softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar with an electric mixer. Beat in vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until creamy.
  3. Mix in the flour mixture in three additions and stir just until the dough comes together.
  4. Add milk chocolate chunks, dark chocolate chunks, mini pretzel pieces and caramel pieces and stir into dough by hand.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for several hours up to 24 hours.
  6. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  7. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop cookie dough in golf ball sized balls onto the cookie sheet, leaving several inches in between each dough ball.
  8. Flatten dough balls slightly and sprinkle with the flaked salt.
  9. Bake for 10-15 minutes* or until the edges are turning golden brown. Remove from oven and cool on the baking sheets for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

Notes

Baking time depends on the size of the dough balls and if you are baking them straight from the refrigerator or from room temp.
